Wow! This article by Charlotte Allen is so forthright it almost feels like a slap in the face. I can’t believe this piece, called “Liberal Christianity Is Paying for Its Sins,” got published in the Los Angeles Times.
I hope that all the evangelical scholars, teachers, and Ph.D. students who are so excited about flirting with liberalism will read this. They’ll probably be offended, but it might do them some good.

She spoke the truth. Nothing here I did not already know except I’m surprised the LATimes ran it.
I realize the SBC has many issues on its plate, but this should tell those who choose liberalism, no matter what the reason, they will meet a similar fate. Sadly, the average PCUSA and ECUSA church member have no clue as to what is happening. I know several who see this only as “politics” and not doctrinal revision. Baptists should take notice.

I’d like to answer this quote with another from one of the greatest evangelists in the history of the church.
“It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.”
