THE OLDEST LIE–PRIDE

Apprising Ministries has often told you about “contexualization,” i.e. attempting to make “the Gospel relevant” to a postmodern culture and a postChristian nation. But, 1) the original liberals already tried that with their “modern theology” attempting to cobble together a form of Christianity for their modern culture.
And, 2) the United States was never a Christian nation to begin with; it’s always featured a plurality of religions in order to be accommodating to its melting pot of different races and nationalities. So, rather than Christian, it’s more accurate to say that America, by and large, has always been a religious culture.
Now let me zero in on the heart of Satan’s scheme, which is: The Church must change for today’s version of capricious culture; and to accept contradicting views of truth from people’s personalized spiritual experiences, because God understands that they have many different ways to come to Him in relationship.
