Hi Andrew,

I think that evangelicalism or evangelical churches have failed people only in the sense that people do not consider the Word of God important to them in their lives. Since the culture is entertainment oriented and interested in hearing only good things then they are not primarily interested in what is good and right and true. There ARE EXCEPTIONS TO THIS STATEMENT. But Jesus Himself said, For many are called, but FEW ARE CHOSEN - Matthew 20:16c

I have a living relationship with Jesus - which started when I wanted to live without condemnation in my life. I believe that an evangelical is one that reads and holds to the Word of God and reads it often.

How do you consider yourself a evangelical - what are the parameters that you use to define that in your life? I have not for instance seen you quote or refer to your relationship with Jesus. Are you sure you are saved?

Sincerely in Christ,

Bevin Jesus said, I AM the Way the Truth and the Life, NO ONE comes to the Father except by (through) Me. John 14:6
