Quote Of The Week: Dr. Michael Horton

Michael Horton comments on how modern-day evangelicalism has shifted away from what Christianity really is:


"We are getting dangerously close to the place in everyday American church life where the Bible is mined for quotes but largely irrelevant, God is used as a personal resource rather than known, worshiped and trusted, Jesus Christ is a coach with a good game plan for our victory rather than a Savior who has achieved it for us, salvation is more a matter of having our "best life now" rather than being saved from God's judgment by God Himself, and the Holy Spirit is sort of an electrical outlet we can plug in for the power to be all that we can be."

I love it. I couldn't agree more.

I like the "rather thans". Many times I hear criticisms without people mentioning how it should be fixed
