The way they are phrasing it in our church is we shouldn't use religious language a seeker wouldn't understand. The buzzword is "culturally accessible"
How that translates - Very little teaching about the grand scheme of salvation (heaven, hell, spiritual life etc...) and a whole lot of talk about how Jesus can improve your interpersonal relationships.

Absolutely! I have seen this teaching first hand folks.....there was a total lack of basic knowledge of the Word in exchange for psycho-babble commentary on how to "improve" our lives. So sad people are being sucked into this philosophy.

Oh yeah, that's what i want to do! < /sarcasm>
