Recovering a Pure Undiluted Gospel

 My intention is not so much trying to get you to determine where it is that you stand on the Orthodox doctrine of theosis, but much more importantly to me, is to cause us to recognize how far this impoverished, Western, fundamental evangelicalism has carried us away from the patristic mind. We have not progressed, but rather we have digressed and it’s irresponsible, lazy, and cowardly just to keep preaching a deluded gospel and then be hateful to the unbelieving world around us for not desiring to be like us.

No, we are recovering a pure, undiluted gospel of the finished work of Jesus that doesn't require nor even permit the supplementation of legalistic leaven that is so pervasive in the church of the Western world, and more specifically, a legalistic leaven that is pervasive in the American church. 

I rather desire to stand along with St. Paul declaring that if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things have passed away, and behold, all things have become new. To announce in harmony with Jesus, the Word of God, that if the Son has set you free, then you are free indeed. This is the good news of the Gospel, and anything less is simply, and frankly, not enough.
