Oh no! What are we going to do? Lifeway bookstores, a chain connected to the Southern Baptist Convention, will no longer warn us about books that might contain heresy. They had this labelling program through which certain books were branded as follows: "This book may contain thoughts, ideas, or concepts that could be considered inconsistent with historical evangelical theology. Therefore we encourage you to read it with extra discernment." Now Lifeway has ended that program.
Isn't that scary? Without this service from Lifeway, how will we ever figure out when to read books with "extra discernment" versus ... um ... normal discernment or maybe no discernment? How will we know which books might contain radical and dangerous ideas and which ones don't? Does Lifeway honestly think we can figure this stuff out on our own? What were they thinking?
Please contact Lifeway right away and demand that they reinstate their warning labels. If they don't, we may have to stop reading altogether.

I too am deeply troubled by this new development. Who will guard my mind for me if not Lifeway. I can feel the holy spirit slipping out of me as we speak. PLEASE LIFEWAY, RETHINK YOUR CARELESSNESS!
