It is clear that a shift has taken place in the Christian World that I have known. This shift is still in process and I don't know when it will settle and then stabilize. The shift that I speak of is listed.
The vocabulary(use of words)of Christians is no longer considered. Terminology is no longer tempered and slang is now the norm for the family of faith. It seems that even sermons are peppered with words that at one time were deemed "worldly". Some of the young leaders in the church today are calling this shift into question and maybe we will see a move back to the middle for a balanced vernacular.
The embracing of a "whatever you believe is fine mentality" is taking the place of a firm Biblical based set of beliefs. This shift is causing believers to incorporate non Biblical doctrines into their own world views. In the "seeker driven" world of of church growth churches are now backtracking to a better follow up process for new believers. The question is how do we challenge the unfocused belief system of the Oprah Church.
more to come...
