Emphasis Preaching Journal

Many Christians today are nonplussed by the society to which they should address the gospel. Tex Sample, a professor of Church and Society, wrote about that. In his book, U.S. Lifestyles and Mainline Churches, he has given an informative description of the social diversity of our time. Sample notes that changes came when we moved from being essentially a people who believed we achieved by sacrifice to a people who believe we have a right to fulfillment.
