'Elite' evangelicals

I'm glad. Unfortunately for me, flying down there and back every Sunday for church service doesn't seem practical. If you ever want to go to a mission field in the US, I'll be glad to be the local native to help you out.

I actually have some friends doing mission work in NYC. Been upstate NY a couple times, and, wow.... that's some pretty country up there.

Let's see, we drove from New Hampshire to Vermont, took the ferry across Lake Champlain to NY, and hunted up sections of the Erie Canal.

What's to follow? They are broken down. They ain't going anywhere.

Exactly. Although they might seem to be moving when you've had too much rum.

Sorry, I'm a little biased in my posting these days. In my part of the world, it's real easy to find a church teaching about ministring to your fellow human. It's real hard to find a church that will preach on God.

I think this needs expanding on, just what does it mean to "preach on God"?

Martin Luther King drew on, and was motivated by, the Christian faith, as was Jonathan Edwards, and Wilberforce of an earlier time. Reinhold Niebuhr and Billy Graham had very different approaches.

And two influential Christians today are John MacArthur and Beth Moore, both have enough influence to be called elites. But is one not necessarily Christian, since they do represent polarizing segments of the Body of Christ.

Each person thought they were preaching the gospel, preaching on G-d. Does any one preacher adequately "preach on G-d"?
