If you are interested, they have posted suggested reading lists for both pastors and laypeople that includes several suggestions on systematic theologies.

Your point is well-taken.<BR/><BR/>I have not been around the GBC to either agree or disagree with your evaluation of the state of evangelism in the Fellowship. But I will say that as I survey what is taking place in evangelicalism generally, your concern over the state of evangelism is accurate, and this concerns me as well. Dever addresses many of these concerns in the two chapters on conversion and evangelism in 9 Marks.Matthew S.

What form of evangelism is being used, one that promotes false converts or one that truely shows people their sinful nature and that they have sinned against God and are in need of repentance? I am dismayed that many GBC's are falling into the promotion of a "feel-good" gospel and are not following the scriptures to warrant true conversion. I do agree that church discipline has been neglected. Again, we are so caught up in making people feel better, the scriptures are just a side bar. And satan is rejoicing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25676168.post-1162524462093674292006-11-02T22:27:00.000-05:002006-11-02T22:27:00.000-05:00I have always wondered why systematic theology is ...I have always wondered why systematic theology is not one of the marks.
