One of the trends I’ve noticed over the past couple of years here at Apprising Ministries is how far the effects of the ill-fated Church Growth Movement have spread. I’ve told you before that mainstream evangelicalism is only just beginning to pay a heavy price for its foolish embrace of the sinfully ecumenical Emergent Church. Now there’s a […]
