Links to Other Sites' Articles Examining the Seeker Sensitive Movement, Mega Churches, and Postmodernism
Note: The Faithful Word.org does not necessarily agree with the content of material or doctrine found at other sites but makes the links available as an aid to research and study. The links below directed to articles written by Dr. John Armstrong require special understanding. For many years Dr. Armstrong represented the best and finest of practicing pastors/theologians. He had been known for his careful defense of the faith, even organizing apologetics conferences. In recent years he has come out in public defense of both the New Perspective on Paul (NPP) and the theology driving the Emerging Church. Though I would take issue with these recent doctrinal positions which he has chosen to adopt, many of his earlier works, such as the articles linked below, retain his earlier zeal for scriptural accuracy and integrity of biblical interpretation.
