Although the name "fundamentalist" may have fallen on hard times, the spirit of biblical fidelity and striving against a new age of doctrinal attacks is still alive and well.

The negative aspects of fundamentalism still exist. Anti-intellectualism masquerades as biblical fidelity. Prideful bluster in the pulpit is equated with "preaching" in some circles. We live in an age where knee-jerk reactions are combined with social media to produce a society that is unwilling to have any sort of civil discourse on those issues which they disagree upon. This still occurs among not only a less civilized society but among those who revel in a mean-spirited perversion of fundamentalism.

But there are still men and women within Christ's Church that think that the biblical doctrines found within Scripture are worth defending, and even fighting for. There are still some who have not bowed the knee to the Baal of culture by adding to the gospel all sorts of social issues. And there are still many who are unwilling to make excuses for the parts of the Bible that seem to rub this fallen and depraved world the wrong way. There still exist those who are unwilling to connect the traditions of men with the inerrant Word of God. They want the Bible--nothing more and nothing less.
