OUR CHANGING WORLD

 

Some 200 preachers have signed “An Expression of Concern” over two matters: liberalism and the unresolved controversy over the teaching of evolution at ACU. The statement appeared in the August issue of Restorer, Gary Workman, editor. The statement identifies liberalism as (a) drifting from the Bible-centered, definitive, distinctive doctrine that once characterized our preaching; (b) the tendency to denominationalize the body of Christ; (c) compromising truth and fellowshipping blatant error; (d) worldliness in the church; (e) emphasis on recreation and entertainment. As for the controversy at ACU, the preachers feel that those in charge have swept the issue under the rug and they call for an impartial investigation.

In a folder entitled The Basis of Christian Fellowship, Keith A. Price writes: “We believe it more scriptural to reflect a heart of love ready to find a covering for faults, than to constantly look for that with which we may disagree. We will then be known more by what we witness for than by what we witness against.” What a liberating truth that is!
