Afternoon all!
I'd love to get people's thoughts on the following...
http://www.christianconcern.com/our...esponding-to-john-stevens-liberal-pluralist-v
I've just come across this article from Dr Joe Boot, who I have only just become aware of through this article. He's writing in response to a public missive from John Stevens, the National Director of the FIEC. The FIEC is the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches which is the organisation to which the church I attend belongs. The FIEC is one of the only organisations of it's kind in the UK as far as I am aware and so the majority of independent evangelical/baptist churches are likely to be affiliated to it. They have no ecclesiastical authority over us (hence the independent part) but, still, I think this is very significant.
I think Dr Boot's arguments are very difficult to counter, but, if he is right, what does this mean practically for us as believers in the Godless western cultures we live in? How do we impose Biblical morals on a secular humanist society? At least, without the Lord moving in mighty revival...
