Quote of the Week

"The Christ witnessed to in the church is often the 'Christ of culture' rather than the 'Christ who transforms culture.' A great deal of the preaching presents a Christ who comforts the comfortable rather than a Christ who disturbs the complacent. The worship is often not in dialogue with the world but rather represents a withdrawal from the world. This means that the idols that the world worships are the very ones that are worshipped in the church; the idols of class, race, success, prestige and power."
