The Church needs to urgently deal with the destructive ¿isms¿, which include humanism, secularism, individualism, pessimism, existentialism, traditionalism, racism, and moral-revivalism to name a few. Yet the church has hardly truly countered these forces, and so struggle with their deadly and destructive influences within her own ranks, while at the same time struggling to make an impact in the world. Just as Joshua needed to drive these pagan tribes from the land in order to thrive and prosper in the will of God, just so the Church needs to address the influences, ramifications, scope and the magnitude of these deceptive ideas and thoughts.
