There is nothing wrong with doctrinally sound SALVATION-oriented messages.

I think folks have some misconception that the sermon for seekers should be about mundane things like taking their kids to doctors and treating their neighbors nicely.

The point of the seeker-sensitive service is that it be EVANGLISTIC.....a proclamation of the good news.

Perhaps I have this all wrong, but that's how I intend it.

My people know that on Sunday morning, they can bring someone and have that person hear the Good News proclaimed in an understandable way as either a central or significant portion of whatever sermon is delivered.

(Incidentally, I'm on vacation this morning in Florida.)

***...a proclamation of the good news. ****

Isn't that the point of all of Scripture?
