In my limited time posting here, I have seen a growing trend, for lack of a better term, Cowboy Christianity. These are its features:
The NT allows for none of the above, yet these ideas seem common and are growing in popularity. Does anyone else see this trend?
- Anti-intellectualism. No need for study, teachers, books, etc., "I have the Spirit"
- Anti-church. No need to gather with other believers for worship and edification.
- Anti-authority. No regard for the authority of elders as spiritual leaders
- Anti-organization. A disregard and mistrust of the organized church.
