Authentic Christian Preaching carries a note of authority and a demand for decisions not found elsewhere in society.

Well, I would have to say as a Christian that I believe any belief system, any world view, whether its Zen Buddhism or Hinduism or dialectical materialism for that matter, Marxism, that keeps persons captive and keeps them from coming to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, yes, is a demonstration of satanic power.

Everyone is in a hurry. The persons whom I lead in worship, among whom I counsel, visit, pray, preach, and teach, want shortcuts. They want me to help them fill in the form that will get them instant credit (in eternity). They are impatient for results. They have adopted the lifestyle of a tourist and only want the high points. . . . The Christian life cannot mature under such conditions and in such ways.

A close look at many churches will reveal that a central problem is the lack of biblical maturity among the men.

In the end, the church will either declare the truth of God's Word, or it will find a way to run away from it.

A biblical standard of sexuality is not merely a test of evangelical consistency. It is a test of evangelical authenticity and integrity.

This generation must get deadly serious about the problem of Biblical illiteracy.
