...Letting everyone believe anything if they have Jesus in their hearts

In spite of the economic turmoil the real trouble for America is most of the church doesnt think that the Bible was given as the ultimate authority for all of life. A second problem for us is our inability to understand that we have elevated our own understanding, our hearts, to a position that God has reserved for his word.

"...How do we approach these things having been taught to fear intolerance, not error? How do we appeal to biblical standards when our Christians brothers differ with us, demanding that all ideas be accepted as equally valid? How do we call believers to universal biblical truths when they recognize no universal biblical truths when they recognize no universal biblical authority? Such theological individualism makes it easy to get along, but reduces Christianity to a least common denominator, letting everyone believe anything if they have Jesus in their hearts. ..."
