John Armstrong is a man close to my heart, for we both share the same desire for visible unity in Christ’s Church. Called to Communion has posted my review of his book Your Church is Too Small as a feature article. Here’s an excerpt where I quote from Armstrong:
True Christian faith is not found in personal religious feelings but in the historical and incarnational reality of a confessing church. Therefore, if we refuse to come to grips with our past, our future will not be distinctively Christian. The result will be new forms of man-made religion that embrace recycled heresies.
Building one’s faith and life on various passages in the Bible understood through private experience results in nothing less than a confusing cacophony of Christian noise. Scripture alone, without human life and community consensus, is subject to every human whim and fancy.
Read on for the rest of my review of Armstrong’s intriguing and challenging book.
Devin: Great job with your review, and way to go getting some guest work on CTC. I was happy to see your name when the CTC e-mail popped in my inbox. God’s blessings to you and the family!
