Like those who reinvent history to suit their own agendas, Dr. Charles R. (Chuck) Swindoll has rewritten Reformation history. Does Swindoll insist that "the faith that justifies is a vital and living faith that yields the fruit of works" as did Luther? No he does not, rather, Chuck Swindoll teaches the opposite and this he does under the banner of restoring Reformation doctrine! How is this anything other than historical revisionism?
Chuck Swindoll buttresses his views of grace with the respected names of John Wesley and The Great Awakening. The views Wesley promoted during The Great Awakening, however, are opposed to Swindoll.
In his magnum opus, The Grace Awakening, Chuck Swindoll presents himself as taking up "the torch of freedom" as brandished by protestant Reformers such as Martin Luther. In this he leads his readers to believe that by following him and his teaching in The Grace Awakening that they are being true to historical Reformation teaching, but is this actually the case?
Aware of human propensities to deception, Paul confessed, “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ” (II Cor. 11:3).

Conservative pastors such as Anthony T. Evans or Charles R. Swindoll would never knowingly speak a word against God’s law or encourage the immorality it seeks prevent, yet they unwittingly oppose what God promotes.
Moody Press boasts of being "The Name You Can Trust." In
this, Moody proposes to Christians that they are true to scripture
and to Christ. Masses the world over, however, who lean their eternal
hopes on much of the doctrine published by "The Name You Can
Trust" would be astonished to find that Moody Press should
not be trusted.
Without contrition true conversion and revival are impossible. We can have big churches and thousands at altar calls without contrition, but we cannot get one sin-laden soul to repent and genuinely be converted without contrition.
Modern Christian teachers proclaim salvation through "Faith Alone," but is such "faith alone" actually able to save if it is not a faith which works by love?
A side by side comparison of the sin and salvation teachings of Dr. Anthony T (Tony) Evans and scripture reveals inconsistenies. Dr. Evans hosts The Urban Alternative on the Moody Broadcasting Network is an alumnus of Dallas Theological Seminary and is promoted and published by Moody Press.
Preachers like Antony T. (Tony) Evans may appear to stand for truth and the gospel, but if their teaching on salvation by grace allows a professing Christian to continue in willful rebellion against God’s moral law without fear(like that of Dallas Theological Seminary), they destroy with one hand what they attempt to build with the other.
