Evangelical Fad Surfing

Contemporary evangelicals have therefore become very much like "children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine" (Eph. 4:14). They follow whatever is the latest popular trend. They buy whatever is the current best seller. They lineup to see any celebrity who speaks spiritual-sounding language. They watch eagerly for the next Hollywood movie with any "spiritual" theme or religious imagery that they can latch on to. And they discuss these fads and fashions endlessly, as if every cultural icon that captures evangelicals' attention had profound and serious spiritual significance.-from The Truth War by John MacArthur

Do you know people who fit this? It is so sad when people settle for a shallow Christianity or a an all together counterfeit faith when Christ is SO MUCH MORE!
