Nuggets from "Whatever Happened to Heaven?" by Dave Hunt

Many pastors and preachers attempt to adjust their message to make it sound as appealing as possible from a worldly viewpoint in order to increase the response. The Jesus they represent is a self-improvement, success expert who offers a more efficient and psychologically sound route to the same "good life" on this earth that every non-Christian seeks. The loss of heaven's importance, the rapture's relegation to a vague and dstantly future social role, and the church's identification with the world in its social and political struggles are combining to deaden the commitment of the contemporary Christian to the biblical standards of separation from a godless world.
