Welcome to Christian Research Net
Published January 8th, 2007 by Ingrid in Research Net AnnouncementA warm welcome to all who have wondered what became of Slice of Laodicea. After two years of blogging at Slice, it became clear to me that there was a tremendous need for current news and information on spiritual trends in the evangelical church. While Slice was famous for billboarding the outragous extremes within evangelicalism, it also provided links to articles and resources regarding the emergent error, contemplative spirituality, church growth philosophy and Purpose-Driven methodology that is transforming the face of the church. For this reason, I saw that a more comprehensive effort was needed. Christian Research Net will seek to serve as an information hub on these particular issues. Over time, it is my prayer that this site will be one of the first stops for Christians who have discerned the error of the times and who want to research what is going on in their churches. This site’s express purpose is to serve as a finger that will point to articles, websites, podcasts, videos, books and materials that meet the need for up-to-the-minute information on critical subjects.
The Christian Research Net is a clearinghouse for information. There will be a growing number of contributors who will add links to valuable resources. At present, I, as well as Dwayna Litz, Rev. Ken Silva, Steve Camp, Chris Pajak and Chris Rosebrough will be contributing information. This is a work in progress, and the site has been unveiled in its infant stage because of the need to assure former Slice readers that we are still here and we are working hard to provide another helpful place on the internet for discernment research links. The web is a vast place and we want to make it easier to find timely biblical insight on what is happening in the church.
As we begin 2007, I am further committed to using the Crosstalk Radio Show to address these issues. This year I am planning several series that will discuss the emerging church movement and its assault on biblical doctrine, training in the defense of the faith, the importance of sound doctrine and didache (Biblical teaching and training) for all believers, as well as several other subjects of importance to Christ’s church. The emphasis at this weblog is both uprooting what is false and planting what is good. Our links for research and biblical teaching will continue to grow over the next few weeks and months.
Scripture says, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” In this age of tragic biblical illiteracy, we are seeing the spiritual destruction being wrought. In a simple and straightforward manner, we will attempt to fill in the knowledge voids for believers who seek the truth. The contributors to this site have no personal agenda other than to lift up Jesus Christ and hold up the light of the Word as a lamp to this generation that stumbles around in darkness.
Pray for us as we begin this venture.
Sincerely,
Ingrid Schlueter
