Over the past little bit, I've been hearing more and more about the rising up of a worldview called "progressive Christianity." I know what you're thinking, "Progressivism has been around for a long time!" Yes, it has. However, the "progressive revival" within Christianity is something I've noticed more and more as of late. I wanted to write about such a phenomena because I see it as relevant to engaging the culture of those who would be seeking or examining these progressive perspectives. I'm no expert, nor will I ever claim to be. I'm just an outspoken Christian who believes that there is something gravely mistaken that is creeping into the body and many Christians are unaware of it.
There are a few podcast episodes that I will be reviewing. I hope to do one, maybe two posts a week. One episode in particular has been flurried about in some of the Christian community and it comes from GracePointe Church in Nashville, Tennessee. Now, I am not here to bash their church, it's leader, or it's parishioners. I know little to nothing about them. They're probably nice folks. However, their doctrine, on the other hand, is not Biblical at all. THAT is what this next series of posts is all about. It will be critiquing the "doctrines" (if one can even call them doctrines, as relativism often pervades these groups) of progressive Christianity. It will not be focused on this church in particular, but this church's doctrinal statement and podcast episode will be used as a springboard to launch into this series.
In so doing, I hope that God will use the truth of his Word in illuminating it to anyone who may read this to provide a fresh perspective on the Christian faith and it's non-compatibility with progressivism and post-modernism. Hopefully, that perspective will stand the test of post-modern thought that often creeps in the church through the lens of "tolerance" and "inclusiveness."
