Ashamed of the Gospel: When the Church Becomes Like the World
by John MacArthur

Description
I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of the God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.' Romans 1:16. With this verse, John MacArthur begins with a reminder of C.H. Spurgeon's warning in 1800s England, 'Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter it is the better.' Until all that changes, until there is a return to the calling to go show more into all the world and preach the Gospel without shame, the Church is in danger of losing its impact on society. And that would be this generation's greatest loss. show lessTags

Noe: Everywhere thee is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject: only, the shorter it is the better (Spurgeon. The signs of compromise are all around us: Numbers have become more important than The message. Churches are offering up "Show Time" religion instead of the "Old-Time" religion
I've read this it is a good introduction to current evangelical trends.
Thoroughly enjoyed this book. As usual, Dr MaxArthur is right on.
Addresses evangelical drift away from orthodoxy towards complacency, comparing N. American church of the 1990s to British evangelicalism during the "down-grade" controversy of the 1880s
Until we return to our calling to go into all the world and preach the Gospel without shame--the Church is in danger of losing its impact on society. And that would be our generation's greatest loss.
