Will we recover the passion of Jude? He preferred to speak of the joys of salvation, but instead had to write to exhort the Church to contend for the faith that was under attack from within.
'Beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning our common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. 4 For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.' (Jude 3-4)
In this sermon the errant philosophies and worldliness of the Emergent movement are exposed through extensive quotes from Doug Pagitt's books, Church Re-imagined and Preaching Re-imagined. While his writing doesn't speak for the entire movement, it is indicative of the basic philosophical paradigm present in the movement as a whole. Let us embrace the instruction of Jude in the spirit of Nehemiah 13!

“ Revealing heresy. ” Useful extensive quotations from Pagitt's book revealing his errors in doctrine and practice. Convincing arguments against this really un-Christian movement.

“ Great Sermon! ” I believe that have a very valid right to be nervous about this movement. I thank God for people who are willing to stand up for God against the twists and perversions of the gospel that come against the church. I think that, though quite twisted, it is possible that Doug Pagitt actually believes his teaching to be God's desire. The bible states in 2Ti 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. I believe that Pagitt has been deceived and is deceiving many.
