Doug Sweeney: Discipleship Isn’t Sexy, but We Need To Get Back to It

“We lack the fortitude these days that’s required to live as though what we profess really is true. And I’d like for us together as pastors and preachers and teachers to find winsome, non-legalistic ways to help people again learn to have a regular devotional life.”

“I think we clearly have exposed some spiritual and moral immaturity on the part of a lot of evangelical Christians. It has been exacerbated and encouraged by some of the things going on in our society.”

“I would like for us to push back against secularization, but I don’t think the way to do that is to invest most of our time and energy and money in secular kind of culture wars and political activity.”

“I think evangelicals do better than most other Christians at what I sometimes call helping people with the subjective dimension of the Christian faith…And I think God, even today, all around the world, is doing things in and through the evangelical movement to bring people to Christ to build up his church.”
