Back from the Cumberland Frontier

The PCA General Assembly is over and we are back in Alabama. I need to reflect some more on all that transpired at this Assembly. In my humble opinion, some of it good and some bad. In the 19th Century, the fastest growing Presbyterian body of believers, broke away from the Presbyterian Church to form the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. At the time they were the most evangelistic, inclusive, and cultural relevant Presbyterians around. They flourished in the revivalistic frontier of Tennessee and later throughout the West. They are now very liberal,sidelined and gospel-less.

History can teach us. May the Lord grant us a vision of Gospel faithful ministry that keeps the balance between piety and doctrine.
