| Ashamed of the GospelWhen the Church Becomes Like The World By John MacArthur In the late 1800s Charles Spurgeon warned that the church was drifting from the purity of the gospel. Instead of boldly proclaiming God's Word, Christians were too careful not to offend in their treatment of Scripture. As a result, Christianity's influence in nineteenth-century England was severely weakened. One hundred years later, John MacArthur is sounding the same alarm. The signs of compromise are all around us: Church-member count has become more important than the gospel. Pastors have turned to the marketing industry to help draw people to services rather than believing in the sovereign power of God. In their efforts toward "relevance" and conversation," some seeker-friendly and emergent movements have compromised the gospel and, ironically, are losing their impact on society. MacArthur calls us back to a firm and humble reliance on the power and sovereignty of God for salvation. Like Spurgeon one hundred years ago, he urges us not to be "carried about by every wind of doctrine," and to resist salesmanship and shallowness in our proclamation of God's Word. This third edition of Ashamed of the Gospel includes a new preface and new chapters on how the seeker-sensitive movement has changed in recent years, as well as an epilogue detailing the dangers of some current, equally pragmatic approaches to church growth.
