Phil Johnson at Teampyro has a good post up about the end of evangelical innocence. He writes:
Sermons with graphic sexual themes and church-wide sex challenges are merely symptoms of a much bigger problem. In short, the church is fornicating with the world and intoxicated with the spirit of the age. Some of neo-evangelicalism’s favorite jargon—missional, contextualization, authenticity—has been tortured and misappropriated in order to justify and institutionalize gross worldliness.
This worldiness and sensuality comes with a price tag, even for the pastors. Pastor Gary Lamb of Revolution Church did a series called “Creative Sex” using secular rock songs like, “Your Body is a Wonderland by John Mayer and “Feel Like Makin’ Love” by Bad Company. Tragically, Gary Lamb resigned from the pastorate of Revolution Church yesterday after having an affair with his personal assistant. The spirit behind these R-rated churches is one of disobedience, rebellion and ultimately, destruction.
This seems to be a growing problem, we have got to put an end to this love affair that the church has with this world. It will be the end of the church as we know it. We will lose our saltiness...then what good will we be?

Thanks for the link, Rick. I'll definitely be checking that out. I think the "sex challenges" from the pulpit are a bit much, too. That's a shame about the Revolution pastor. I think they reach a lot of people that more mainstream ministies can't/won't. Sad that he fell to that temptation...
Phil knocked it out of the park. Nice link bro. Thanks.
