“…it was not uncommon for the Puritan churchgoers to imbibe 8-12 hours of sermons per week” The Cripplegate

I fear that a similar thing is occurring today among true evangelical believers. As with other seasons of church history when preaching was slowly stripped of its precision, clarity, and doctrinal depth, many contemporary congregations have slowly been robbed of the same.



The problem is: they don’t know it. The erosion has been too subtle.

Terms That Abuse the Gospel

1. Let Jesus into your heart.2. Invite Christ into your life.3. Just say this prayer and you’ll be saved…4. Make Jesus the Lord of your life (we don’t make him Lord. He IS Lord!)5. Turn from all your sin (and, no, that’s not what “repent” means!)
