This really says it all as to why the evangelical movement, as Spurgeon would say, is on the downgrade,
We will not be ready for the challenge of this hour until there is
genuine repentance and conversion in our churches... Christians
tend to divorce doctrine and practice. Some put all the emphasis
on orthodoxy, with very little day-by-day living to match. Others
major in experience, with little basis in Biblical teaching. One is
body without spirit, and the other is spirit without body. Christianity
is neither a corpse nor a ghost.

Thank you for your posts. They are encouraging and thought-provoking.
I often wonder why there has to be a tension between orthodoxy and orthopraxy - can't the two work hand in hand? Shouldn't they? The mind, the will and the heart all working in union?
Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely correct--they should work hand in hand.
