Evangelical Movement at ‘Head-Snapping’ Moment, Says Scholar

I am certainly not an advocate for the new evangelical/emerging church movement, but the following article causes me to ask some serious questions that no one seems to be addressing.

Cry Baby Christians

I don’t believe there is another issue that turns my heat up as fast as cry baby preachers. It is very apparent that these “men of God” sincerely feel that the world owes them something.
