The following is an excerpt (the opening paragraph) from an article found here.
“Many evangelicals (once known for a very prudent and biblical approach to doctrine) are fast becoming as doctrinally clueless as the unchurched people they are so keen to please. At least three decades of deliberately downplaying doctrine and discernment in order to attract the unchurched has filled many once-sound churches with people who utterly lack any ability to differentiate the very worst fast doctrines from truth. I constantly encounter evangelical church members who are at a loss to answer the most profound errors they hear from cultists, unorthodox media preachers, or other sources of false doctrine.”
Here is the summary of the article:
“What’s needed today is a generation of men and women who will take a stand on biblical truth. People like that fear the Lord, not men, and will find power and courage from the Lord to uphold His truth in an age of extreme tolerance.”
There’s more worth reading in the middle. . .
The article was adapted from The Truth War, © 2007 by John MacArthur, also worth reading.
The Battle Cry 
So the question becomes: What is it going to take to get “…a generation of men and women who will take a stand on biblical truth. People like that fear the Lord, not men, and will find power and courage from the Lord to uphold His truth in an age of extreme tolerance.”
I figure I need to get on my knees some more for starters.
If you don’t mind, I’m going to link to this article too. I’m reading MacArthur’s book: “Twelve Ordinary Men” Right now. I may have to put this next one on my list.
Thanks for continuing the battle each day.
God Bless

“12 Ordinary Men” is awesome! I’ve recently finished “Hard to Believe” and “The truth War”. I found a copy of the first version of “The Gospel According to Jesus” at a used book store before those two.
Link away, mate and ditto on “knee time”.
I started a blog only recently (last month)but it’s not about anything I have lately come to believe or because I have anything to say that others are not already saying (many times more eloquently). I just think that we need as many voices as possible in the ‘Reformed’ choir to make any kind of dent in current apostasy and heresy.
So in military terms I guess we would be “Battle Buddies”.
