Barna’s observation is quite insightful—unless, of course, you’re the frog.

The changes that have occurred have not necessarily promoted the “Glory to Christ” that should be the goal of all of us. Tragically, I’m afraid that in many instnces “the baby has been thrown out with the bathwater. There were a lot of us who went through most all of the same program as yourself without the disconnect that you recall. We recall Harold and Oswald Chambers, Jim Elliott, Nate Saint, and many others not of our own Denominational setup. That being said, there was a major pre-occupation with “self-contained worlds” that failed to notice the “water was getting warm.

Interesting thoughts.
