The League of Tyndale is a group of “fellows” dedicated to promoting the Reformation Doctrine of Sola Scriptura. To learn more about them, check out their “Declaration of Our Practice and Purpose” page. However, that page does not properly represent who they really are. Their “Introduction” page gives a better description of what they are all about. They believe the modern, or rather, postmodern church…
…has become too enamored with the world and all its trappings. They have slowly displaced the authority of the Scriptures with manmade traditions, cultural influences, and business practices that appeal to our earthly senses. Like the Hebrews in the wilderness, they have grown weary of God’s heavenly manna, and have desired a return to the tempting, but empty food of their captors in Egypt.
And so the league is attempting to promote the importance of God’s Word. They do this through an online “publication” of sorts, “The Sacred Sandwich”. But their tactic of choice is parody. And while they do link to some great articles and other sites (follow the links from this page, or check out their collection of links here), they primarily advance their cause through pointing out the sheer ridiculousness of the modern church growth movement by means of humor.
I wish it wasn’t so funny, but their advertisement, for instance, for Joel Osteen’s “Your Best Teeth Now” toothpaste, is just too hilarious! You will definitely get a laugh as you check out their other “advertisements”. And then they have a photo gallery complete with at times, hilarious, descriptions. You’ll need to check out their cartoons, and other features too.
If you like what you see, consider joining the cause! I did. They even gave me a great graphic to put on my blog (check the sidebar).
While they definitely are funny, the antics of the League of Tyndale should give us pause to reflect soberly on the state of the wider evangelical church today. May God be pleased to give us a genuine revival to shake us from this sad state. May He continue to bless the efforts of those who sincerely prize His Word.
