 Re: Postmodernism vs Grace

Quote:
There are conferences on just about any subject except understanding sin and why man needs to be justified by God. Who would want to pay for airline tickets and hotel accommodations to go to a conference to hear someone preach about the gross awfulness of sin and the need for God's intervention,


Sadly, you are right, would probably have to be held in a hotel room it would be so poorly attended. But this is the root of the problem, sin, all the bandages in the world are useless in trying to cover it up. We are swallowing up spiritual Prozac by the mega dose when what we need is The Great Physician to preform heart surgery. God help us all.

May need to revisit Mr. White's "The God Who Justifies", didn't get very far the first time through, don't think my head was ready for it at the time. Here's a quip from it;

"If the health of the church can be measured by how often and with what devotion and gratitude she speaks of justification, then it would seem that not all is well in our day. How often we talk of prophecy, how we receive the "blessings of God" in a material sense, end-times speculations, and what new political topic or movement we are supposed to be invovled in tells us nothing positive about the church. But when Christians are continually thankful for and amazed at the grace of God that has brought them into a state where they stand righteous before God, clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, then it can be safely said that those Christians, and therefore the church, are thinking properly and are concentrating on the important issues."

James R. White 'A comprehensive Study' "The God Who Justifies" pg. 15
