CEs Placed in Favorable Light By Another Established Fundamentalist Institution

Greg Linscott

I thought this was interesting in light of recent hubub about Kevin Bauder’s recent remarks about conservative evangelicals defense of the gospel. I just received the latest copy of PCC Update in the mail, and it features prominently (p. 2) an article entitled “Does the Church Need Change?” by none other than Albert Mohler. Since the publication is not available online, I am providing a scan of the first page below:

Zondervan is about to publish a book basically arguing against nearly any form of church separation. I reviewed it, its missing some important parts (clearly Jesus is for church unity, but warns against lot of religious groups) - but it made me think, so that was a good thing - the book is worth being aware of, I think fundamentalist should be able to interact with his argument .

I Learned it from Fundamentalists

Aaron Blumer

What follows should not be seen as any kind of “answer” to the essay by Dr. Kevin Bauder we posted here last week (what minor points I differed with him on are already expressed in the comments there).

But it is a reaction of sorts.

Many have been announcing the death of the “Fundamentalist Movement” for some time. And these death knells are coming increasingly from those still inside whatever Fundamentalism now is. I don’t care to argue the question of the movement’s deceased status one way or the other here. But even contemplating its passing stirs me, because Fundamentalism (both the “movement” and the “idea”) has been a source of great blessing to me as God has used it my life.

1. Fundamentalism taught me expository preaching.

From early childhood, I was exposed to a broad spectrum of Fundamentalist preaching. At school, I heard the preaching of passionate evangelists who knew how to penetrate the apathy of hardened Christian school kids’ hearts and move us to walk aisles by the dozens. Sometimes (only God knows how often) the Holy Spirit was at work in these efforts as well and produced His fruit in lives.
