I see apostasy in many ways occurring in Evangelical churches that really aren't teaching the truth of God's word. I do believe that some churches have become entertainment centers and a teaching a type of prosperity Gospel rather than teaching God's word.

An evangelical is somebody who, first of all, has a very high view of Scripture, believes it's an infallible message from God.

It's hard to pin down what it means to be an evangelical today. It's been diluted quite a bit. It is a powerful voting bloc, no question, but they're liberal as well as conservative - and they're made of Latinos, blacks, whites.

Evangelicals can't be closely identified with any particular party or person. We have to stand in the middle, to preach to all the people, right and left.

I think it goes back to the fact that the evangelical community often does not have a biblical vision of God.

If you'd have said Evangelical in 1957, most people wouldn't know what you were talking about. And then, they'd be against it.

The evangelical movement has become just a bit victimized by a success-oriented culture, wanting the church - like the corporation - to be successful.

In America, evangelical churches have often been bastions of conservatism, providing support for the status quo.

The church which ceases to be evangelistic will soon cease to be evangelical.

Evangelicals need to take a good look at what their issues are. Are they really being faithful to Jesus? Are they being faithful to the Bible?
