Pastoral Care to Former Evangelicals

"They basically have suffered from Christ-less Christianity or maybe its more accurately a cross-less Christianity. They do have a Christ that is taught them. Christ as the life coach or Christ as the entertainer. The Jews seek for a sign, the Greeks seek after Wisdom, but Americans desire to be entertained. It's not that they're getting Christ. They're getting a Christ. They're just not getting a Christ that comes to us on the cross, a Christ that is centered in his death and resurrection for you. And this leads people into a failure and inability to cope with life, reeling from the effects of sin and death." Pr. Jeremy Rhode, Issues etc interview.
