Be Watchful

Gentlemen,

In prepping for this coming Sunday's message, I came across an excerpt from Iaian Murray's book "Evangelicalism" which is well, well worth the five minutes it will take you to read it. It starts:

In his book on Evangelicalism, James Davison Hunter wrote: 'A dynamic would appear to be operating [in Evangelicalism] that strikes at the very heart of Evangelical self-identity'.

What is this 'dynamic'?

I believe that all the evidence points in one direction. It is that Evangelicals, while commonly retaining the same set of beliefs, have been tempted to seek success in ways which the New Testament identifies as 'worldliness'.

Read the whole thing here.
