Ephesians 5:15-21

The subject of biblical submission has stirred much controversy, discussion, and debate. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he explains how mutual submission to one another out of reverence for Christ is a mark of a Spirit-filled church.

Matthew 28:16-20

In the hymn “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing,” we sing the words, “Prone to wander, Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love” – but this is not just true of individual Christians. Churches, seminaries, and even denominations are prone to wander from their Christ-given mission, message and ministry, as they embrace the unbiblical errors of contemporary progressive Christianity.

Matthew 28:16-20

Companies and organizations will often create a "mission statement" so their employees or members will work together to fulfill that purpose. The mission statement of the church of Jesus Christ matches, word-for-word, the divine mandate known as the Great Commission. How does contemporary progressive Christianity actually oppose and undermine the mission statement of Christ's church?

Jesus said, “Every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.” When the bad tree of Contemporary Progressive Christianity takes root in a seminary, church or denomination, it produces bad fruit in the way it diminishes and undermines vitally important doctrines and practices of Historic Biblical Christianity. What are five evidences of Progressive Christianity's rotten spiritual fruit?

Jude 1-3

False doctrines and deceptive teachings had infiltrated the early church, compelling Jude to write his brief epistle urging Christians to earnestly "contend for the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints." Believers today must take this same exhortation to heart, as we face the rise of contemporary progressive Christianity and the growing threat it poses to the evangelical church.

Ever since the Garden of Eden when the serpent asked, “Has God really said?”, Satan has used questioning, undermining, and attacking the Word of God as a key part of his diabolical strategy. It is hardly surprising then, to see this same characteristic in churches and pulpits that have abandoned historic biblical Christianity and embraced contemporary progressive Christianity.

James 5:16

"Confession is good for the soul" is not only a familiar expression, but a biblical principle as well. Join Dr. Harry Reeder on InPerspective as he shows us how to fruitfully heed the biblical exhortation to confess our sins to one another.

There is no such thing as leadership that does not work. Leadership always works – good leadership produces good fruit and bad leadership produces bad fruit. The bad spiritual leadership that results from the influence of Contemporary Progressive Christianity inevitably produces bad spiritual fruit that has a detrimental, destructive, and divisive effect on the modern evangelical church.

People will sometimes say, “Well, the apple didn't fall far from the tree” when talking about parents and children. Contemporary progressive Christianity is the bitter spiritual fruit that did not fall far from the poisonous tree of the Theological liberalism that utterly decimated the mainline Protestant church in the 20th century. This anti-Christian offspring is wreaking havoc in today's evangelical church.

The church of Jesus Christ in every generation desperately needs biblical and spiritual discernment to combat heresies and satanic deceptions both old and new – and in our day a clear and present danger is contemporary progressive Christianity, which is simply a repackaging of the heretical theological liberalism of the past. What are the marks that identify Contemporary Progressive Christianity?

Many churches, pastors, and professing Christians have fully embraced critical theory, while others more cautiously try to chew what they perceive as the meat while spitting out the bones. But critical theory is so dangerously flawed in its very essence that it is more like trying to swallow ocean water and spit out the salt – it is impossible and it will in fact kill you.
