Excellent article.

What the writer is describing is one extreme, but what message is he going to preach now? Go the other extreme and preach the gospel according to Schuler?

I remember a story related by a former editor of the Review. He said he read the SOP which said, "You are eating too much sweets." So he cut his consumption of sweets in half. Sometime later he read it again, "you are eating too much sweets." So he cut his consumption in half again. After some time, he came across the same statement again, and it still said the same thing!

Good point Gerry; the author of this article does a poor "interpretation" of Rev 3:10. Taking away the accuracy of scripture with such paraphrasing does not lead to an accurate or helpful message.
