Preaching Pragmatic Propaganda | The Church Search

from This is the Day Rejoice · host Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker

First, set the mood: Dim the lights, cue the emotional beats, and start the smoke machine. Add in a few strobe lights and the scene is set for a rock concert - no wait, I mean for church! Ah, the pragmatic churches will do anything to get you in the door. It's a numbers game for them, which means full throttle marketing, a motivational TED Talk, and just a few Bible verses sprinkled in.  One of the chief offenders, setting up churches all over the nation, is the ARC - The Association of Related Churches. Join Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker as we cruise through a bird's eye view of the churches of the ARC and similarly styled pragmatic churches. ________________________ When this is the day you realize your church is pragmatic, it's time to leave. It can be painful to part ways, but you will never regret leaving a pragmatic church, in order to sit under the faithful teaching of God's Word. ________________________ Resources: The Bleeding of the Evangelical Church by David F Wells Church Search Researches: Founder's Ministeries Find a Church The Master's Seminary Find a Church Michelle Lesley Church Search Visit our shop for super one-of-a-kind designs that promote gospel centered conversations.
