Believer Sensitive!
As a believer in Christ for over 17 years now I have been offended in the world time and time again for my beliefs, and I try my best to take it all in stride without complaint, but now it seems that we as a church are being asked kindly to step aside and make way for the 'Seeker-Friendly Movement' which has spread across our country like wild-fire, they say "It's a new way of doing church!" Well what's wrong with "The Old way of doing church?" What does a 'Seeker-Focused Worship' actually mean? Just on the surface it seems like a rock-concert followed by a comedian. I mean what was wrong with the 'Sinner-Focused Worship?' What's wrong with preaching the Word of God so that the unrepentant sinner will be convicted? I mean aren't Seekers really just lost Sinners? I mean aren't they lost and headed to hell, un-regenerated people who don't know Christ? How bout we just stick with the 'Believer-Sensitive' approach to worship or as they call it "Seeker Insensitive Worship"? Why in the world would we want to alter our worship of God so that unbelievers won't be offended is an outrage, that exalts the 'Seeker' above God. Isn't the Lord’s Day for the ingathering of believers, first and foremost, the exaltation of the Lord and secondly for the edification of the believer? Those who don't know God are gathering on the Lord's Day with the Son's of God, and shouldn't we be about our Fathers business so that they may see our good works and glorify God? Let us not soften the Gospel for it is the power of God unto salvation. For I was once lost, but now I am found, and it didn't happen in a 'Seeker-Friendly Worship' it happened in a God fearing, God centered worship, with the Word of God being proclaimed with boldness and without compromise! It's high time that the true Church get back to the 'Believer-Sensitive Worship', the 'Believer-Focused Worship' and become more 'Believer-Friendly' because the World is not 'Believer-Friendly' and the Church is our only refuge.
