By diluting the message so as to "reach" the unsaved, you are doing a diservice to those in the pews who are saved and who need to be fed.

When Jesus told Peter to feed His sheep, Jesus meant for him to provide adequate food for all. Sunday sermons are not meant to be the mainstay for the devoted Christian doulos.

Yes, the message must be adequately diluted so that it can be assimilated by those who are not ready for the strong meat.

There are many different ways of saying the same thing. I dont necessarily consider it a "watering down" of the word. "Dont cast your pearls to swine".
