New Covenant Living: Americn Evangelicals Ignoring the Bible, Flocking To Dictatorial Pastors

New Covenant Living: Americn Evangelicals Ignoring the Bible, Flocking To Dictatorial Pastors

Here's a commentary by D.A. Carson posted by Jack at New Covenant Living. I'm going to have to read this one several times to take it all in, but on a first reading it seems right on target.

I'm not sure exactly what he's saying. At first I thought it was a critique of things like Vision Forum. Later it seemed to be a critique of those who don't take scripture seriously. It always seems to me that all the groups that he might be referring to claim scriptural support. I think this is the best part: "To our shame, we have hungered to be masters of the Word much more than we have hungered to be mastered by it."

So true, me included.

Hi Christine,
good to see you here :) I need to read the article again so I can comment, but I liked that quote too, and was struck by the truth of it for myself as well.
