It’s Official: I’m Unfashionable
Tullian Tchividjian was kind to quote me in his latest book Unfashionable. Notice that at the time I was still serving as pastor of Metro East in Wichita.
Here’s the quote from page 100:
One of the leading ways the church can testify to God’s unifying power before our segregated world is to establish and maintain congregations that transcend cultural barriers, including age. Todd Pruitt, pastor of Metro East Baptist Church in Wichita is a good example of this. He recently wrote:
“At our church, we have made some deliberate choices not to segregate along lines of age, cultural backgrounds, musical preferences, etc. There is little doubt that dividing along these lines “works” in that people often prefer everything to be designed around what makes them most comfortable – their prejudices. But doesn’t the gospel lead us toward putting down these impulses? Doesn’t the gospel move us out of our comfort zones so that we might take hold of the unity that Christ has already given us?”
So far the book has proved worth the reading. It is endorsed by such men as Tim Keller, Michael Horton, J.I. Packer, and D.A. Carson.
