ARE YOU SLEEPING OR SLIPPING?
Once again, it pleases me to write this second editorial for the Trinity Journal. As most of you could suspect it, it would be difficult to pass beyond the near Christmas which approaches quickly. Living myself in a Nordic country (Canada), I know what this season brings with it: cold, snow, ice and the slippery roads.
You know, several theological trends seem, at the moment, to be in the Winter of the nordic countries all year long. Why? Precisely because they are more and more on a slippery hillside. Trinity Journal wants to be a tool which helps the people of God to remain very conservative and faithful in its theology and so to avoid sliding in the current trends and philosophies as “The New perspective of Paul” (NPP), “The Federal Vision” (FV), “The Emerging Church” (EC), etc.
Some of you do not maybe know too much at what I am hinting at the moment, but be sure of one thing: God's Word is more and more under fiery attacks on behalf of the enemy, Satan. Some years ago, Modernism makes a great breakthrough in the Church. After it, it was the Inerrancy of the Bible that was put into question. We saw pop-psychology as well as pragmatism doing great harm to the Gospel too in the 70’s-80’s. Later, it was the turn of the Post-Modernism to strike the people of God.
But, recently, there was a great impact in what we call the (NPP) and the (EC). These two new approaches lead us to a tendency to discredit the truthfulness and the absolute meaning of the Bible. They say that absolutes no longer exist and that the clarity of Scriptures should be reassessed. The problem is the following. “If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Ps. 11.3) The battle that we have to wage is not against flesh and blood Paul said (Eph. 6.10-13). Here, at the Trinity Journal, we want to let you know that we will be doing our best to keep on the sound doctrine defended as the Lord will provide with many other good articles for the next year of 2007.
On behalf of the Trinity staff, I wish you a very good time this Christmas remembering with you all that we are in the hands of the all-mighty God, the One who sent His blessed Son, Jesus Christ, to save His people from their sins.
