Jay Adams: How Religious Movements Mature 
Isn’t it strange how things repeat themselves? “What, in particular, do you have In mind?” The way a movement or cause surges ahead, only to have some of those who benefit most from it, later in rising to leading positions, begin to reject, transform and set forth their own ways of pursuing it. MORE
