Progressive Christianity and Critical Theory, Part 2

Many churches, pastors, and professing Christians have fully embraced critical theory, while others more cautiously try to chew what they perceive as the meat while spitting out the bones. But critical theory is so dangerously flawed in its very essence that it is more like trying to swallow ocean water and spit out the salt – it is impossible and it will in fact kill you.

Progressive Christianity and Critical Theory, Part 1

Critical theory is a social and philosophical movement that has made its way into the pulpits of the evangelical church – but it is also religious in essence. The real danger lies in the reality that critical theory is not merely a religion, but one that that is anti-Christian, anti-biblical, and thoroughly inconsistent with the Gospel.

Forgiving One Another

Ephesians 4:25-32
The Apostle Paul urged the Ephesians, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he examines the vital importance of forgiving one another in the Body of Christ.

Political Correctness and Contemporary Issues, Revoice Theology Part 2

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
The stated mission of Revoice theology is: “to support and encourage gay, lesbian, bisexual, and other same-sex attracted Christians – as well as those who love them – so that all in the Church might be empowered to live in gospel unity while observing the historic Christian doctrine of marriage and sexuality.” How does this mission statement flatly contradict Historic Biblical Christianity?

Political Correctness and Contemporary Issues, Revoice Theology Part 1

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
We are not in the midst of a cultural war, but a spiritual war. Contemporary progressive Christianity produces a half-gospel that is ineffective in dealing with sins that our culture is now celebrating. Our society and culture will either be blessed by Christians fighting the spiritual war with the armor of God and the weapons of the Spirit – or they will become casualties of war.

Five Marks of Progressive Christianity, Part 2

Galatians 1:6-12
The first mark of contemporary progressive Christianity is a denial of the functional supremacy of God's Word in faith and practice. It redefines biblical terms according to the language of psychology and therapy, resulting in a therapeutic gospel instead of a redemptive one. How does this first mark manifest itself in the church and produce four other characteristics of progressive Christianity?

Five Marks of Progressive Christianity, Part 1

Galatians 1:6-12
The Apostle Paul wrote to the Galatians, “I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel.” Today there is a different gospel infiltrating the Evangelical church in the form of contemporary progressive Christianity, and today we begin to examine five marks of this dangerously distorted false gospel.

Its Motivation, Its Mission, Its Message, Part 2B

Acts 20:17-35
Progressive Christianity appeases and panders to the godless unbelieving culture around us, using cultural intimidation to pressure the church to conform and compromise. It imitates genuine Christianity by infiltrating churches and seminaries with false teachers and deceptive false doctrines that have an appearance of authenticity, but are actually deadly spiritual poison.

Being of the Same Mind with One Another

1 Peter 3:8
It has frequently been said that "great minds think alike." Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he exhorts us to be of the same mind with one another in authentic Christian love, fellowship, and spiritual unity.

Its Motivation, Its Mission, Its Message, Part 2A

Acts 20:17-35
Today's progressive Christianity may use different language to distance itself from yesterday's theological liberalism – but in computer lingo, it is simply Liberal Christianity 2.0 and therefore not true biblical Christianity. Just like the old liberal Christianity, contemporary progressive Christianity has the the wrong motivation, the wrong mission, and therefore ends up with the wrong message.
