While our last church wasn’t a mega-church, it was a seeker-friendly church. This is a type of church where the gospel message gets watered down so as not to offend the seeker. It basically turned into a Sunday morning coffee shop, rock concert. Needless to say, we left this church and are now attending a Southern Baptist Church, where the Gospel message is proclaimed without political correctness or apology!

BTW, as another poster noted, the musical selections in some churches has become a true disappointment. Many services go by where no classic Christian songs are sung. Instead, we have a “Praise Band” blowing the roof off the church with songs nobody’s ever heard before. While I’m certain I’m the minority on this, I find Praise Teams to be a distraction to my worship. I find they take the focus off of God, and put it on themselves. Not saying they always mean to do this, but I find it does happen.

I feel the same way. I cannot be a Baptist in this town however. I can’t deal with the “King James only!” Crowd. As if God cannot preserve His word!

Almost invariably means a watered down, 'non offensive' gospel.
