Hoy en día, muchas personas piensan que el medio más eficaz de alcanzar este mundo posmoderno para Cristo es que la iglesia se vuelva más atractiva y relevante para la cultura. Creen que la iglesia debe reinventarse, ajustar su mensaje evangélico, ser menos dogmática, más terapéutica, tolerante y entretenida. Además, afirman que la iglesia debe complacer a la cultura, asumir sus causas sociales, incluso adaptarse a ella, pero nunca oponerse a ella. Sin embargo, tal postura es totalmente ajena a las Escrituras y, por lo tanto, atenúa el poder y la bendición de Dios.
Many people today think the most effective means to reach this postmodern world for Christ is for the church to become more attractive and relevant to the culture. It must reinvent itself, adjust its gospel message, be less dogmatic, more therapeutic, tolerant, and entertaining. It must pander to the culture, take up its social causes, even conform to it but never oppose it. Yet such a position is totally foreign to Scripture and therefore mitigates the power and blessing of God.
With clarity and conviction, Dave Harrell guides readers through the priorities of a biblically focused ministry paradigm a paradigm that transcends the vagaries of modern culture that may be applied with confidence by ministers and Christian leaders alike.
