Doug Giles has some piercing comments about evangelicals being soft on doctrine in his column appropriately titled "Oaks of Righteousness or Evangelical Tumbleweeds?"
To say that doctrine doesn’t matter is to say that God, who is the author of
doctrine, doesn’t matter. Doctrine is not boring or irrelevant. You
might be — but doctrine sure as heck isn’t.
Sound biblical doctrine matters
greatly. Doctrine defines …
· the principal purpose of man,
· the role and rule of the scripture, · the character and nature of
God, · the purpose of creation, · the fall of man, · Christ and
the covenant of grace, · the application of redemption and· God’s view
of death and the last day.
I like the quote from Os Guiness about Christians in America: "The true story of the evangelical mind in retreat is the story of the surrender, not the stealing of America." (source: Fit Bodies, Fat Minds)
