If one really wants to see more of the results of the seeker sensitive Church  Growth Movement, whether it be the Purpose Driven "stealth strategies" of Rick Warren for the older set, the Barbarianism of Erwin McManus for the in-between, or of rabbi wannabe Rob Bell for the younger set, they need only read this pedantic post over at our "shadow site." The comments section, at least when they aren’t arguing among themselves, is actually quite enlightening as to how far these who have bought into the semi-pelagian new liberal theology of the new evangelicalism will bend over backward to excuse blatant sin.

The main hue and cry is: "It must be dealt with privately." I guess these new evangelicals forgot to inform God because with no further discussion He struck the ill-fated Century One Real Estate team of Ananias and Sapphira dead for their sin. Very publicly did the Lord deal with this sin, so much so that it has been preserved in the text of the Bible for any and all to read. Why? And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things (Acts 5:11). But quite obviously to those who have eyes to see we live in a time such as this – Where there is no vision, the people are unrestrained (Proverbs 29:18).

O Lord, send us the Elijahs of God!
