Doctrine-Watching in the Church

Great post last Monday by Jared Wilson at The Gospel-Driven Church with an embedded video of Mark Driscoll talking about Doctrine-Watching in the Church

He has touched on what begins the problem and what perpetuates the problem. When the church runs like a provider of goods and services it slowly stops asking "What glorifies God?" and starts asking more and more "What do our customers want?", and as the pragmatic business model subsumes biblically formulated community, the dictum "The Customer is Always Right" becomes more of a guiding principle than a motivating God-centeredness. In other words, as "What People Want" becomes more central in the life of the church, our theology becomes more flexible and less faithful.

The Church is suffering terribly from theological bankruptcy, and we desperately need to recover the roots of orthodoxy before those who care are too few and before those who care are too few to do anything about it.
