Personally, I found the piece to be more than wanting and the typical "dumbed-down gospel" that is embraced by countless churches of all varieties, including those who profess to be Reformed. It minimizes the Fall, externalizes sin and puts "a relationship with God" as primary vs. the need to be regenerated, justified (declared righteous) and sanctified by the blood of Christ. Additionally, it promotes a universal atonement and likewise it denies the particularism of God's eternal electing love.

It teaches that God's extension of mercy is conditioned upon the individual's trusting "in Jesus' death" rather than the biblical truth that those whom God has mercy upon will trust in the person of the Lord Christ. (cf. Rom 9:15,18; Mk 4:10-12)
