Thanks to Adam Feldman for linking to this great article by Ed Stetzer. Ed beings up some points that many traditional Baptists might find tough to think through, but need to be sorted out if we will have a future impact on today's generation. The article is located here. Link.
Here's a sample:
It’s interesting. As a denomination we’ve spent more than two decades telling young leaders that we must take the Bible seriously. Should we be surprised that they do? When younger leaders question some long-held traditions, we should not be surprised -- they are the result of the theological resurgence.

it was a great article. i particularly liked stetzer's point that for the past 2 decades "they" have been pounding the importance of the bible into young leaders' heads... so (my paraphrase) why should they be surprised when young leaders take the bible seriously? (in particular, to extra-biblical "doctrines" that baptists hold.)
Thanks for the comment Adam. I am encouraged by the dialog going on in our denomination when it comes to our "Baptist culture". We have placed a lot of our cultural limitations on the gospel that we are beginning to talk about breaking free of. It is an excitindg time and Stetzer is on the leading edge.
Thanks also for your posts on the Shaping of Things To Come. Your posts convinced me to buy it yesterday and it is very good.
