“I fear that many pastors today have fallen into the error of preaching the doctrines of grace theoretically instead of preaching them practically and using the truths of Scripture to draw men to Christ. Instead of using the Bible as our instrument to draw men into fellowship with God, biblical doctrine has become our grounds to exclude those–even other believers–who disagree with us. Instead of using the Scripture as the sword of the Spirit to conquer men for Christ, we spend our energies defending it, as if it were fragile and easily broken.”

Are “Movements” Wrong?

In recent talks with local church leaders and pastors, I have heard alot of talk about people who are empire building. They are hesitant to embrace what groups Harbor, and Redeemer and Mars Hill, are doing. These local people that I’ve talked to are hesitant to be seen or to move towards creating any “movement”.
Of course its wrong for men to believe that their ministry is not successful until they have a nice big church of 1200, with a “movement”.
So are “movements” wrong? Or are todays movements simply what would have been called a revival in the 20th century? If so, isn’t it right to say that every minister’s goal to building an empire, not his own but Jesus’?
