The fault is not only the culture of the world. Much of our evangelical Christianity has been forged in a piety that confronts the personal relationship with Jesus against the visible church and his public ministry. Part of that is because Evangelicals have wanted to avoid nominal commitment and formalism (which is good to avoid). But in the process
we have leaned-especially since the Second Great Revival of the nineteenth century- to criticize the formal offices of the church and the ordinary media of grace in favor of the charismatic leaders and extraordinary manifestations.

How fast and easy has defeated what was tested and proven. Grow quickly in number has had more weight than
Grow slowly in grace. The pragmatic results -And not the formal structures- have been considere the keys to success At the same time, many of us were raised with the evangelistic call of:

"I do not ask you to join a church, you I ask you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior personal".
