More Relevant Than Thou

…the church and its members must not seek the world’s approval by providing programs that pander to people’s need to feel popular and appreciated. The “more relevant than thou” approach to ministry may fill churches, but often at the expense of the cross and all its glorious foolishness and shame.

An extremely relevant quote (pardon the pun) from Jason J. Stellman’s Dual Citizens. You can read an expanded quotation at Ligonier Ministries or purchase his book.

    AMEN!!! Disciples of Robert Schuller – REPENT!! All men who claim to be preachers – PREACH THE WORD OF GOD and not your opinion. Pay heed to God, not His creatures. If one loves the Lord and His creaures properly, he will not cease to proclaim the Gospel of Christ crucified to them. Anything else merely makes the broad road to hell less real.
