We love the church. We love the word of God. We long to see God's kingdom come. But unfortunately the fear of many preachers — and I share their fear — is that as a Bible based community we have exchanged the gospel and its life-changing power for social activism, coalitions, and impact organizations. We, who are the possessors of the treasure of God's word, which forcefully speaks of the grace of God on every page, have rejected the biblical doctrine of justification.
Our profession of faith in Christ is little different from the Judaizers of Paul's day. Our lives are lived as if we are under the domination of the Roman Catholic Church of the Protestant Reformation. We have forgotten what it means to be declared not guilty on account of the imputed righteousness of Christ. We have forgotten what it means to be Protestants. We have forgotten what it means to be a child of God. Instead, and for all sakes and purposes, our confidence before God is that we have been infused with His righteousness!
