Evangelicals have been deeply sinful in being anti-intellectual. For the longest time we did not pay the cultural price for that because we had the numbers, the social zeal, and the spiritual passion for the gospel. But today we are beginning to pay the cultural price. And you can see that most evangelicals simply do not think.
It has always been a sin not to love the Lord our God with our minds as well as our hearts and souls…We have excused this with a degree of pietism and pretending that this is something other than what it is – that is, sin … Evangelicals need to repent of their refusal to think Christianly and to develop the mind of Christ.
