This message given by Paul Washer to the Way of the Master Conference really speaks to a lot of the things that have been on my heart and mind recently, and it echos very closely a statement of Ravi Zacharias that first put some of these thoughts into focus for me.
But the more you depend upon the arm of the flesh, and the more churches attempt to grow, not by being biblical, but finding the latest thing to appeal to the greatest number of people, as long as we are doing that we will never see the power of God.
And the church, in its desire to become relevant, makes itself look like a fool in the midst of its enemies.
The church today in America looks like a 6‑Flags-Over-Jesus; because if you draw people, using carnal means, you will have to keep people using carnal means.
