The state of the church?

Writing in the late 80s, evangelical Joseph Bayly commented upon his generation's contribution to those Christians who would come after them: "We inherited doctrinal, expository preaching with a heavy emphasis on prophecy. We bequeath relational preaching with a heavy emphasis on success here and now. We inherited leaders who spoke out against evil in society and in the church; we bequeath leaders who are specialists in public relations and fundraising."
