I heard Mark Dever's address last night via the Together for the Gospel website and found it extremely challenging. My wife and I were discussing it this morning and considering all of the organisations that began as evangelical missions that now don't have any overtly Christian content at all in their work, such as Barnardo's here in the UK. My own feeling is that by the time they reach their second generation those who follow the teachings of Brian Mclaren will have departed so markedly from the teachings of Scripture that they will have effectively shed all the key elements of the Gospel. Such a movement is bound to result in disillusionment and disappointment. In Christ, Rob Excellent post!
