And the reason the modern Church has been so ready for humanism in its various manifestations is because of its loss of the Bible's total rejection of human merit or capability, and thus the dire need of the activity of the Holy Ghost for anything redemptive and eternal to occur in a soul or collectively in a church. Really Humanism is the basic religion of the non-Christian. He inists he is able to save himself, indeed if he needs saving at all. Has anyone remarked that both MO & PO-MO are a form of HUMANISM.

Sometimes it is hard to find the truth not only in Churchs, but also in People's lives. Christian people at that. I just read the back of the book, "ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL". Where in the late 1800s,Charles Spurgeon warned that the Church was drifting away from the purity of the Gospel. Instead of boldly proclaiming the truths of scripture, Christians were candy-coating the Word, being careful not to offend anyone. As a result, Christianity's influence in nineteenth-century England was severly weakened. I agree with John it is time to sound an alarm and let people know, God is serious about HIS Righteousness !!! Today is more weakened than ever,may God give us wisdom and knowledge on how and where to go with this. I was saved in 1974 from drugs,bikergangs,fighting, and trying to comit suicide. On the fifth try God with His grace reached down and delivered me from sin.I think since 1974, it has gotten 100 times worse than back then, but it only shows the end times are here, lets win as many souls for the Lord as possible, and as soon as possible, Amen? My heart cries out to the Lord for help to find just a few people who really care about winning souls for Christ and is willing to go out into the World and do so. Thanks for the word here,and may God Bless you in all you do to the Glory of God the Father. I must agree! 100%.

I have not studied postmodernism (and the emergent movement) in great depth, so when I come across it inside the visible church, it is still quite a shock. Let us stay faithful to Truth. http://witnessingencouragement.wordpress.com/tag/discerning/ http://witnessingencouragement.wordpress.com/tag/false-teaching/ Oh I’m so glad to discover this blog; I am looking forward to reading through it.I love this topic of being faithful to the true gospel in whatever “ism” we find ourselves living in the midst of.

Postmodernism possess a philosophy that directly attacks the truth- the Gospel. Thank you for robustly laying out the truth about postmodern thoughts within the church of Jesus Christ. Our primary concern should be for the church to remain pure from postmodern notions. I agree. Postmodernism possess a philosophy that directly attacks the truth- the Gospel.

The world, and tragically, so many in the church as well, rolls its eyes and mocks the way true Christians cling so tightly to the absolute claims of Christ. Our culture is so obsessed with faulty notions of "acceptance" and "tolerance"; absolutely terrified of being labeled as "intolerant", and thus not accepted into the more "sophisticated" circles of "Christian" thought and philosophy. But to put it simply (of course, very non-pomo), who are we to seek the acceptance of the world, when it did not even accept their Creator, the Savior for all who will believe, when He came into history as a Man to live among them? (John 1:10-13) As Spurgeon said it so eloquently (and I can't remember the exact devotion for the life of me right now, so please accept this humble paraphrase), "Who are we to seek a crown of glory [or acceptance, or approval, etc.], when our Savior bore a crown of thorns"? Amen. The world, and tragically, so many in the church as well, rolls its eyes and mocks the way true Christians cling so tightly to the absolute claims of Christ.

We need good strong teachings like this. Thanks. God has only one way to forgive sin; His most Beloved Son's death. And what a marvelous and gracious thing this is. Christ on the Cross said "It is Finished", and He became the forgiveness of sin for all who believe. It will take some extra courage to stand against the tide of this inclusive generation.
