I'm Albert Moeller, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from

a Christian worldview.

We've been tracking for years now a certain pattern prevalent among at least some claiming

to be evangelical Christians.

It is a continual program of theological revision.

It is in the name of one cause or another, a resetting of the theological table, but

it's often done incrementally.

One of the things we need to note is that trajectory matters.

When there is a trajectory away from biblical Christianity, if that is not quickly checked

and very conscientiously checked, then it continues in that same direction.

And it's largely because of the sociology of the context.

The context is this.

We're living in an increasingly secularized society, and the pressure is coming from the

progressivist moral impulse of that secularizing society.

Makes it all the more difficult, frankly, for conservative biblical Christians to stand

in one place without facing a great deal of secular opposition.

But that's actually our calling.

Our calling is to stay within the faith once we're all delivered to the saints.

It is to stand on biblical authority, and it's also to think through these issues comprehensively

on biblical conviction and understanding the nature of truth.

At the same time, there are some very interesting counterarguments.
