Is the modern church reaching out or selling out?
By Gary Gilley, 142 pages
The
most successful arm of the evangelical church in recent years, in terms
of growth, money and prestige, has been the market-driven
(seeker-sensitive, new paradigm, user-friendly) church. Because of this
success these churches are being mimicked all over the country, and
indeed the world. But is this church fully dressed? Is she outfitted in
the biblically prescribed robes of evangelism, edification, worship and
instruction? Or, is she wrapped in rags composed of empty human
philosophy stitched together with bits and pieces of truth? If the
latter is true, why have so few seemed to notice? It is the intent of
this book to attempt to answer some of these questions.
