Hi BRETT,
Thanks for your comments on Dr. Veith's article.  However, I don't see any 
good in postmodernism at all.  Postmodernism emphasizes relativism while 
the Bible emphasizes absolute truth in morals and theology.  Either Jesus 
is God's Son or He isn't--Jesus is not a figment of the imagination and if 
it is true that He is in reality God's Son, then that statement is 
universally true for all men.
You are right that postmodernism offers us an opportunity to share the 
Gospel with those who are curious about what we believe; however, it also 
presents a problem--if the Gospel is only true for us and is only OUR 
perception of the world and our own imaging of reality, then it is going to 
be difficult to convince others that God exists in ultimate being and 
reality, that He is eternally self-existent (aseity).
I for one do not buy into the church growth paradigm. I've observed too 
much false doctrine that has manifested itself in the form of materialism, 
greed, and heterodoxy for the sake of numerical growth and financial 
success.  When the Gospel has to be watered down or downplayed for the sake 
of drawing in unwary pagans, what we wind up with is nominal Christians who 
know nothing about sound doctrine, spiritual disciplines, or 
self-sacrifice.
I left the Pentecostal movement about a year ago after being within that 
fellowship for over ten years.  Postmodernism and existentialism is rampant 
in their paradigm and truth seems to have taken a far, far backseat to 
pragmatism and Pelagianism.
Sincerely in Christ,
Charlie Ray,
