“Christianity” increasingly loses the biblical emphasis upon discipleship and replaces it with an emphasis upon religious ritual. “Church,” rather than denoting the New Testament concept of a community of disciples living as the “body of Christ,” begins to connote a hierarchy that protects “orthodoxy.” “Salvation,” instead of being construed as the gift of a transformed, abundant life in the now-present kingdom of God, begins to be equated with an otherworldly reward ~ Lee Camp
