It's about a lack of willingness to expect holiness in the church. <BR/><BR/>The underground churches in China, N. Korea, etc., don't experience this.

He said that he would emphasize the positive and not "negatives" like sin and judgment and that "Evangelicalism" was broad enough to reach from John McArthur to Benny Hinn.
