No doubt - I’m in a “seeker sensitive” church. It was great to bring us all into the faith, but now it seems to be the equivalent of eating marshmallows for breakfast every Sunday.
I even talked with one of the lead pastors recently about whether they were concerned about being “offensive”.
For those seeking more “meat”, they are offering a Wednesday night, bible centered service that dives into the meat of topics more thoroughly than the Sunday service.
I used to be.
It ain't just marshmallows...It is toxic marshmallows!
At the root of it, these seeker sensitive folks have the wrong view of God, the Bible and of man.
They don't have a biblical view of God's sovereignty in salvation and they don't believe in the power of the Gospel to save.
They also, falsely, believe that the Church's primary reason for existing is evangelism. It is not. It exists for God's glory and for the edification of the saints.
The Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 14:24-25) said that on the chance that the unsaved are among us during our worship, we are to teach in a way that reveals their sin, convicts them of their sin, and leads them to repentance. In doing this, the unsaved will truly know that God is among us.
Seeker sensitive worship is the antithesis of Paul's direction and therfore unbiblical (not glorifying to God).
And...it is a seeker sensitive command not to be offensive (no teaching/preaching on sin, hell, doctrine, etc.). These things might turn away the crowd.
