Introduction

This is a Christian blog for those who aren’t afraid to read about unorthodox ideas. The incredible concepts posted here will be eye openers, perhaps even stretch you a bit. I assure you that I love God and follow him faithfully. I needed a place to catalogue some of the disenfranchised thoughts I’ve had. I’ve invited a few friends to comment on them and leave their ideas too. Together we’ve formed a unique dialogue that is open-minded and inspirational.

Sometimes the posts are about quantum physics and cosmology, sometimes about linguistic concepts and Biblical Translations, sometimes church history, sometimes what we could improve here and now.

Unlike other sites I moderate I’m not going to demand that all the posts here be inoffensive. I’m leading it off with a rather controversial review of a popular book. It’s a radical opinion and it will make some people think I’m a nut, but that’s ok. This is not the place to become popular, this is the place to yourself.

Evangelicalism Dieing Out!!!

According to Christian Blogger Micheal Spencer (internetmonk.com)it will. Covered in this article http://www.onenewsnow.com/Church/Default.aspx?id=447734 Spencer gives some pretty logical reasons why the very things that gave rise to evangelicalism could cause it to wain. The short version is obvious--if you attract people who flood to the newest thing you will loose them just as fast to the next newest thing.

I quote...
"In a recent column for The Christian Science Monitor, Spencer wrote, "We Evangelicals have failed to pass on to our young people an orthodox form of faith that can take root and survive the secular onslaught. Ironically, the billions of dollars we've spent on youth ministers, Christian music, publishing, and media has produced a culture of young Christians who know next to nothing about their own faith except how they feel about it."

I'm interested in your thoughts.
