What Does E.R. Ask That Many "Christians" Don't Want To Answer?
Here's a video that has been out there a while but I think fits here even better in view of my previous post on "Why Emergent is Receding", although this applies to "Seeker Sensitive" and "PDL" as well.
Seems some writers for E.R. get it much more clearly than many "Christians":
Anyone care to ask this man what his "Felt Needs" are? Maybe tell him about his "Purpose"? Take a few months to become "buds"?
I heard this for the first time on Way of the Master but did not know about the video until yesterday. Its very powerful and very revealing. It nails postmodern evangelism and nails the right questions. God's word and only God's word has the answers. Thanks for posting. This needs to be seen by as many people as possible.
I saw this yesterday and frankly, it blew me away. I emailed the link to a friend, asking the question, 'How is it that Hollywood can plainly see what the church refuses to see?' When the world has better discernment than the church-at-large, we need to corporately fall to our knees and repent for our lukewarmness and seek God's face.
Everyone is welcome here. However, when you post a comment please remember some simple rules.
1. No one has an inalienable right to have their comments posted.
2. Please keep on-topic, otherwise it may not be posted at all.
3. Starting out with a sarcastic comment is a pretty good way to show me your intentions are not, well, honorable and will tend to wake up the cynic in me thus triggering the "delete" function.
4. Whining about how your comment wasn't posted is a sure way to prove to me that my cynicism (see point 3) was justly roused.
5. Comments that make personal assaults at others who post comments will not be published.
6. In light of rule 5, my posting an article that says something like "So and So teaches thus and so and here is the evidence" does not constitute a personal assault on my part, no matter how you may dislike what I had to say.
7. My time is worth more than wasting it on mud-wrestling on my own blog. If I see that you're here basically saying "Change my opinion against my will", don't be surprised if I don't humor you.
8. I reserve the right to create a post based on a submitted comment. It may be because of some positive comment that I'd like to expand on. It may also be that I'll take a troll-type comment and use it for another post of "Trolls Say The Darndest Things". In the former case, I will give credit to the commenter. In the latter case, I'll leave names out of the immediate post. If someone finds the original post however. . ..
I met the Lord Jesus Christ in 1998. Before then, I had made a profession of faith but now know there was no reality to it. I had no sense of personal sin and a need for a savior. I had "prayed the prayer" but there was no transformation.
It was only after the Lord let me bottom out and see myself as a sinner ripe for judgement that I realized that I needed a savior. There was simply no other remedy.
Paul told the Corinthians "Examine yourselves to see if you are in the faith."
If you profess to know the Lord, that is the best advice I can give you.
