We all need to be reminded to get back to basics. The message of the Gospel should not be subordinated to a slick media presentation. Excellent! We all need to be reminded to get back to basics.

I've been out of the loop. I appreciate the kudos but want to address Adam for a sec. Thanks for stopping by. I'm really not to say, but there is truth in the fact that the medium helps define the message. I'll not enter the tired ole argument about traditional, conservative SBC churches. I was in a dying one today in a dying town. What I want to uplift is the sufficiency of God's Word that doesn't need a boost from us 'moderns' or 'postmoderns' to make it effective. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. I think God has a say on what's effective. Sorry I had to preach my Uncle’s funeral today. I’ve been out of the loop.

As far as biblical illiteracy goes, it's just as prominent in traditional conservative SBC churches as it is anywhere else. To imply that this is a problem created by more contemporary churches (whatever those are), is a stretch. Who’s to say what’s too much imagary and what is effective to teaching biblical principles?

Now if we can find a way to communicate this to the (regenerate) in our own pews, we'll at least be off to a good start.

Your remark "In a sense, we are back in the backwoods of biblical illiteracy in our culture and people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge (Hosea 4:6). This is the case, unfortunately. Yet, God is faithful in the midst of repentence and true worship. Leaders should not so easily shun the work of teaching for the thrill of the cultural buzz. Our only hope is to return to principle that you have brought to the surface here. Blessings, Chris Brother Joe,

This is the case, unfortunately. Yet, God is faithful in the midst of repentence and true worship. Leaders should not so easily shun the work of teaching for the thrill of the cultural buzz. Our only hope is to return to principle that you have brought to the surface here.
