A Cool Quote In Relevant

The lastest edition of Relevant Magazine asks several Christian leaders questions about the future of the Church and it's influence on today's culture.  Pastor Efrem Smith of Sanctuary Covenant Church in Minneapolis gave this incredible quote:

"I'm very concerned about the continual influence of consumerism Christianity and a Christianity that is very self-centered. Even in some of the social justice initiatives that I see, I wonder at times if it's really about social change and kingdom advancement or if it's about the sense of accomplishment and adventure one gets from the experience. Christian television (even with its good side) seems to push consumerism, capitalism and individualism. It's not that these traits are so sinful as much as it limits the Gospel message and keeps us from kingdom community and reconciliation."

Man, I love his honesty and the fact that he pulls no punches!!!
