Yes, thanks to our theological mud-wrestling with recent, severe attacks of liberalism.., we do not seem very flattering to the many. While we struggle, many non-denoms serve a rather tasty menu of praise worship and feel good fluff that draws in the battle weary. I thoroughly believe, however, that this strife waded through will strengthen faith long after thin strains of entertainment theology fade. Let us remember scripture, in that Jacob wrestled with the angel of God, and his struggle made Jacob say...
