Ten steps to becoming a 'Pragmatic Church' 1. 'Easy-believism' gospel. 2. Place emphasis on some 'work' for salvation and not the need to recognize and approach a holy God. 3. Teach half-truths. 4. Teach that grace replaces (instead of produces) holiness. 5. Teach that love and truth are opposed and obedience is legalism or optional. 6. Use fleshly things to attract unbelievers for evangelism and teach them that carnal, worldly lifestyles are acceptable. 7. Avoid the Biblical teachings that create humility in man and exalt God. 8. Teach the means of grace are optional. 9. Be 'seeker-friendly' and avoid being 'offensive.' 10. Place being 'relatable' above 'biblical accuracy.'

A Message from our Provider:

“We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country. #C.S. Lewis”

Abuses of fasting: 1. Any attempt to earn God’s blessing through fasting is clearly in contradiction to the scriptural teaching that Jesus’ death and resurrection is the ground for every spiritual blessing. Fasting is the humble response that puts us in a place to receive the life and victory Jesus has won for us. 2. One should never view fasting as a substitute for repentance and obedience. To do so turns fasting into a form of penance (cf. Isaiah 59:1-22). 3. To use [fasting as a means] to impress others. This is clearly what Jesus forbids in Matthew 6:18. The question is not so much whether others know about our fast but rather why we want them to know about it. The Scriptures make reference to corporate fasts, and thus fasting is not always a private matter. 4. [When we use fasting] to belittle the kind gifts of God. While on the one hand we can fall in love with the gift of food and not the Giver, on the other hand we can fail to enjoy the food with the taste buds that He provided and glory in our will power.
