Not WWJD, But WJHD

Michael Horton, in Christless Christianity: The Alternative Gospel of the American Church, p. 250:
I have already underscored how our message has been transformed from good news to good advice. The effects of confusing law and gospel in content has wide-ranging effects in church practice as well. If the message is deeds, not creeds, focusing on "What Would Jesus Do?" while assuming that everybody already knows what Jesus has done (and is doing and will still do), it only stands to reason that the flow of gifts from Christ to us will be reversed in the way we live out our personal and corporate life as God's people.
