There is a growing controversary in Christian philosophy deals with the concepts of God-entered versus man-centered religion. Classical theology used to be God-centered. God came first and was the supreme center of our focus. Modern evangelical theology has changed to be man-centered, where man now is considered first, and the plan of God revolves around the deepest needs of human beings, including their need for self-dignitfy, self-worth and self-esteem. These two philosophies are dividing the church. This message biblically proves that true religion must be God-centered.
