Editing Jesus Quotes

“The fact that American Christianity is steeply declining is no longer debated. It is declining because it has been infected by a host of destructive pathogens—materialism, politics, consumerism, apathy, legalism, celebrity worship, and culture warring—to name just a few. As Rick Lawrence so eloquently argues, we are losing the “authentic Jesus” and replacing Him with an “edited Jesus”—a Jesus designed to conform to our desires, our culture, our lifestyles, and our political ideologies. And this “edited Jesus” comes with a false gospel that is no longer appealing to our neighbors.”
