Re: A Future and a Hope

Plenty of new high profile ministries capture this fire. The Gospel Coalition, Acts 29 network, and Sovereign Grace, are a few that have had a tremendous influence among Christians, as well as new networks that spring into existence practically every month. These brim with youth who love to exegete the Word in the midst of missional life.

I have been attending a church in association with the "Acts 29 Network" http://www.acts29network.org/ for a number of years now, and I can testify that there is a fresh and powerful move of the Spirit among them. I would highly recommend checking out the website and see if there is an Acts 29 associated church in your area.

Though these discoveries and dividends are exciting, the prospect of listening to or giving messages is not likely to thrill ex-LC Movement members. Expatriates have already endured years of doctrinal repetition that created an unprofitable pseudo-reality. Those who have lived through it know that the Movement has an "eye" and "ear" disorder, that is, an unbalanced emphasis on seeing and hearing so-called spiritual things with little interest in actually being or doing them. As a result, biblical truth was leached of life, converted into outline points, and often used for combative purposes. Having departed this systematized habit, it is difficult to imagine messages once again having a place of importance in a post-LC Movement church.

"unprofitable pseudo-reality"?
Ouch! That one smarts! Just three little words yet really hits home. I guess the truth does hurt sometimes, doesn't it.
"an unbalanced emphasis on seeing and hearing so-called spiritual things with little interest in actually being or doing them"
Now Mike, fess up, you hacked into Myer's computer and inserted this into the chapter, didn't you? (just kidding)
