Too many times we miss the essential elements of our faith. I hear more and more of a "bettering of our world and ourselves" from the church than I do the truth that it is Christ who, through His death AND resurrection gives is the gift of life and His Spirit to transform us. And so the gospel becomes a social cause more so than an action of love and redemption. By the way neither candidate to my knowledge (I haven't been able to listen to the full dialogue) mentioned the resurrection. THAT is the most essential part of ur faith is it not?Jerry Grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18058985804830675606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17154648.post-4153045471882015902008-09-06T21:05:00.000-07:002008-09-06T21:05:00.000-07:00Dennis, While we may come at some questions differ...Dennis, <BR/>While we may come at some questions differently, I find your central challenge prophetic. We evangelicals need to focus more on the good news about God and the Gospel, and less on moralizing and law. That's what has transforming power. I'm still old fashioned enough to wish for more real exposition that wrestles with and proclaims the meaning of the Bible's text and story. Thanks for voicing your perception of this.<BR/>BobBob Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17032215201725666301noreply@blogger.com
