Sadly, what we find in so many churches today, even ”evangelical” churches, is a cafeteria style approach to the Bible — take what you like and pass on the rest. We are very good at “designing” our own preferred concept of Christianity. The following is an excerpt from a timely article by Steve Cornell at Christian Worldview Network:
“I can’t accept a God who sends people to hell.” “I can’t believe in a God who requires the death of his son for me to be forgiven.” “I can’t accept a God who. . .” These are common protests against Christianity. Strangely, however, many who make them continue to attend Christian churches. Admittedly, these Churches tend to embrace mutated forms of Christianity which cater to the sensitivities of those who prefer to play God than to worship the true God. They accommodate those who prefer to stand in judgment over the bible and to ignore or change scriptures they find intolerable.
Usually, these people want pastors who only teach about God’s love and mercy. They want a God who fits their comfort-zone and adjusts to their crowded schedules. They don’t want a God who places demands on them or makes them feel guilty. And they don’t want a God who judges people (unless it’s the really bad people they read about in the newspapers).
