Thanks, Justin, for the links. A couple of the articles were great, but I noticed a common, troubling feature among most of them. They accuse all those they label liberals as conceding to the prevailing dispositions of secular society and abandoning Scripture as God’s authoritative revelation. In reality, many Protestants, even evangelicals, are leaning in what might be considered a liberal direction on certain issues because they have difficulty reconciling tensions between fundamental biblical truths. In these cases, at issue is not accepting worldly opinion over the Word of God, but wrestling with what to make of apparent contradictions of truth.

I think some of what Chandler said in his “De-churched” sermon at DG is helpful in light of all this. I rememeber him saying, “you’d better decide right now where you stand on the Scriptures! None of you is going to wake up tomorrow morning and say, ‘I’m selling out today!’ It will be slow and gradual chipping away.” My guess is a good deal of these folks don’t even realise they have sold out or are teetering dangerously on the edge of doing so. Let’s be discerning but let’s also be gracious in seeking to draw back into orthadoxy those who have (most likely unintentionally) strayed. God help us all. Maybe that’s overstating it. I dunnno.

“They subversively changed their leadership structure to one that is fully egalitarian, and they fired a team director who vocally opposed it by calling the national staff to repentance.”

Then Campus Crusade has definitely become liberal.

It’s so sad that Campus Crusade joined IVF in becoming egalitarian. I wonder if Navigators is egalitarian too. I hope not.

I apologize for being anonymous, but I am forced to do so. In regards to the IV article, Campus Crusade for Christ is heading along a similar path. They subversively changed their leadership structure to one that is fully egalitarian, and they fired a team director who vocally opposed it by calling the national staff to repentance. I would say that IV now is what CCC will be in 10-15 years.

I was just reading John Piper’s excellent biographical sketch of J. Gresham Machen and was amazed at how Machen’s words (especially from his book “Christianity & Liberalism”) read as if they were being written in 2010; addressing the very same issues then that are facing the church TODAY! I look forward to reading this journal.
