Amazing Prognastication in '87 of reality in "03

I read this after it first was published in 1987. I just recently relooked it over and am amazed at the accuracy of the direction Linsell believed the church was going. And lo, the church is there.He recalls from historical analysis how the church since the Englightment on has been taking on the values and shape of the culture, and how this is influencing American Christianity away from its God breathed (inspired) values and the will of God for His church.His prediction that all the major denominations have given way to pluralism is totally right on! The quote which should sting us back into reality: "These churches are doing nothing of a serious nature to purify their bodies and return themselves to the orthodoxy that prevailed at the time of their founding."My own church, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, is evidence of this move away from orthodoxy and its founding. Those in charge now proclaim with great pride that they have led the body away from its out-of-date moorings into the future which they have contended God will bless with growth. But to date this has not happened.Amazing work to reread and contemplate. Also see books by David Wells.
