Modern Reformation

Russell Moore on what Martin Luther might think about the situation of many of our evangelical churches today:

Hardened rebels against God rest easy in a prayer said at Vacation
Bible School, or a card signed at confirmation class. And guilty
consciences stand paralyzed outside, fearful that Christ can only save
those who look or dress or speak a certain way. And, through it all,
American Christianity has become a vast conspiracy to sell one another
products.

The combination of the damning power of cheap grace with the
accusing agony of performance-based righteousness before God exists in
every wing of the church. That’s because it’s not a medieval problem,
but a primeval one.
