We have posted a video, Subversion of Evangelicalism, which describes the downgrade of evangelical Christianity over the last half century. We see the compromise of the New Evangelicals, such as Billy Graham, the influence of Norman Vincent Peale and positive psychology, the folly of the Church Growth Movement, the false teachings of Rick Warren and his PEACE Plan, the amazing growth of New Calvinism and the comtemporary worship scene. We conclude that Jonathan Edwards was right to warn that the greatest danger facing the true faith is the counterfeit church, designed for unbelievers.

The New Calvinists
The past decade has seen rapid growth in the ideas and ministry of a movement that has become known as ‘New Calvinism’. Such is its influence that an article in Time magazine (March 2009), which presented a list of ‘10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now’, placed New Calvinism third on the list.
We contend that New Calvinism is a movement that is based on the ideas of men rather than God’s Word. Rather than proclaiming the faith once delivered to the saints, New Calvinism seeks a religion that is pleasing to men, a religion that glories in contemporary worship and that encourages worldly behaviour in the church. New Calvinism is a movement that skilfully combines the holy with the profane, and that has carelessly separated conduct and doctrine. The result is a confused religion that tends towards antinomianism and unbecoming, undignified conduct in the church. Prominent leaders of the New Calvinist movement include Dr John Piper, Pastor Mark Driscoll, Dr Tim Keller and Dr Albert Mohler among many others.
