Are you referring to the Church Growth Movement here? That seems to have deceived a lot of people, even the "elect" in the churches.
Funny you should say that. I did not say that directly but that is exactly what I am thinking. I see the church growth movement and the newer "multicultural church" movement as one of the most gospel derailing movements to hit the American church in 25 years. It appears that many churches feel as though they are not in the loop if they aren't following somebody's new book method. I hold to the idea that we must preach Christ crucified, and Him Alive now at the right hand of the Father. What is your experience with this church growth movement?
