At the 2007 General Council of the Assemblies of God, during his final message as General Superintendent Thomas E. Trask preached,
"What many churches are offering America is a new religion that guarantees no hell and requires no holiness. It's a limp spineless Christianity that does not confront sin for fear of being judgmental. It's an impotent gospel that tells people everything is okay."
Brother Trask warned of five dangers threatening the effectiveness of churches:
1. Situational ethics in which Biblical absolutes are rejected.
2. Falling prey to cultural seduction.
3. Cultural accommodation, in which churches are distorting Scriptures on issues ranging from abortion to social drinking.
4. Inclusive salvation-a view that everybody goes to heaven and no one goes to hell.
5. Passionless pulpits-preachers that make sure no one in the pew is upset at the sermon material.
Note to self: You have more in common with the AOG than you may want to admit. Don't lose your voice.
In 2016 many churches aren't in danger of speaking in tongues, but they are dangerously close to losing their voice.
God help us to TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!
