Today we redefine everything in Christendom to the point that we have to define the word “Literal”. One would think that of all words, that word would need not be redefined, defined or speculated on. Perhaps next we’ll redefine “Definition” so that all religions everywhere will speak the same lingo and be unified – yet mean completely different things when they speak.
Far fetched? Don’t think so. All we have to do is look at the difference currently in the Mormon, Catholic and “Reformed” (just one of the terms that seems to be getting muddy) Christianity. The same terms are used such as Salvation, Christ, Sin, Heaven and Hope but the meanings are vastly different from one another. Truths never change and neither do definitions. Reformed doctrine teaches those truths and the corresponding accurate definitions.
The “Modern Gospel” is akin to this statement of Democrats by Ronald Reagan, “You can never underestimate the ability of Democrats to wet their finger and hold it to the wind.” As we round the corner into the next era, we must be careful to not adjust our theology to whichever way society is blowing us. Truth is truth, has been truth and will always be truth. Stand up and be strong – the Lord is on our side and His truth will prevail!

So true. Christians need to “man-up” as it relates to truth.
