For a long time now, I’ve been trying to get a handle on the compromises that seem to be everywhere within seminaries, Christian publishers, Christian media, and our churches.
It seems like most of the believers I encounter are immersed in a Christian culture of appeasement when it comes to spiritual things.
In other words, very, very few of my brothers and sisters in Christ seem to have any real sense of the errors that are swirling all around them – even within the church itself.
And, of those who actually see these errors, very few are willing to fight against them. In fact, few are even willing to discuss them.
Since that would be, in their minds, to exhibit a kind of arrogance or lack of humilty. Since the popular view of “humility” is to not be too “absolute” in what you believe; or at least to never say so.
Which seems to be a greater danger, according to the popular Evangelical culture, than actually discovering doctrinal error within your church!
Now, I realize that any one of us can get off base. Seriously, any of us can wander off the path and into the swamp. It is foolish to drive a stake in the ground before we’ve done a proper surveyor’s job. We need to be sure of what we believe before we open our mouths.
