A LITTLE PERSPECTIVE FOR POSTEVANGELICALISM AND THE EMERGING CHURCH
By Ken Silva pastor-teacher on Oct 6, 2008 in AM Missives, Roman Catholicism, Southern Baptist Convention
Many man-centered pied pipers of “Protestant” postevangelicalism and the Emerging Church continue a repudiation of Sola Scriptura in their sordid lust affair with spiritually corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism, which flowered in the antibiblical monastic traditions of apostate Roman Catholicism.
In their desire for existential experiences centered on the self and a phony form of “unity” they have turned to the mystic speculations of spurious Spiritual Formation as taught by Living Spiritual Teacher and Quaker mystic Richard Foster and his friend and spiritual twin ordained Southern Baptist minister Dallas Willard to tickle their ears.
Well, here’s a little perspective for you and these embracers of mythical mystery like Rob Bell; no longer the “Elvis of Emergent,” Bell is Elvis, and right now he’s in your evangelical buildings.
On this day, October 6, 1536 William Tyndale was tied to stake, strangled, and then burned so that you could have that Bible in your hands that fools like Bell tell you can’t be understood.
To paraphrase the great Church Reformer William Tyndale: Lord, open the evangelical Christian community’s eyes.
