We (evangelicals in general) have been way too caught up in programs. Your thoughts are directly in line with the <a href="http://menwithchests.com/?p=199" rel="nofollow">Quote of the Day</a> I posted over at <a href="http://menwithchests.com/" rel="nofollow">menwithchests.com</a>. "The fundamental problem in the evangelical world today is that God rests too inconsequentially upon the church. His truth is too distant, His grace is too ordinary, His judgement is too benign, His gospel is too easy, and His Christ is too common." ~David Wells, "God in the Wasteland" The context of Wells quote was exactly your thoughts above. Bravo, you hit the nail directly on the head!!! Rory, great post! We (evangelicals in general) have been way too caught up in programs. Your thoughts are directly in line with the Quote of the Day I posted over at menwithchests.com.
