Only the Gospel can do that!<br /><br />The mainstream mega-churches hide the law as if it doesn't exist and offer up some vague idea of Christian living that is palpable to the masses. It is something similar to "cheap grace." You don't hear much about sin at all from these folks. You don't hear much Gospel, either. You get tips on everyday living, as though you are watching the Today Show in church. Everything but the cooking segment! Wait, you can get that demo at the coffee bar in the lobby.<br /><br />Given that these two groups are always in the spotlight, it's no wonder the media doesn't know a thing about Christianity. <br /><br />Christian media outlets such as SRN News can be pretty clueless, too. Their focus leans to Religious Right issues and STILL leaves out any mention of the Gospel.IggyAntiochushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04448305182789845259noreply@blogger.com
