This Little Church Went to Market
The Church in the Age of Entertainment
With the spectacular successes of mega churches, churches all over the world are buying into the market-driven philosophy of church growth and expansion. But what price have these churches paid in order to fill their pew with scores of people? Is the market-driven phenomenon comparable to such historic movements as the Evangelical Revival? Or has the church lost its culture wars?
The most significant forces pressing against the church are entertainment, market-driven philosophies and psychology. These three are largely absent from the Bible, yet are startlingly prevalent in evangelical churches. This is a serious and timely call for churches to return to their scriptural roots ….. before it is too late.
