Modern church-growthism cannot be judged any less guilty of syncretism than Dark Ages Roman error.

Rattling off your impressions as an immature prophetically-gifted person, and what I’m talking about in this article are not the same thing.
The pile of the “unresolved” will grow in my soul if I do not submit to leaders who can diagnosis and disassemble the “unresolved.”
