I saw one church advertise that they were “Not your father’s church.” They promoted it as though they were proud of that expression. What I want to know is, if they are “Not your father’s church,” whose church are they?
It is my humble opinion that when a person loses sight of the origins of the Church, it no longer is the Church. Therefore, the question is, what is it?
Have we come to a stage in this generation that the so-called church is promoting everything and anything that will add to its numbers? The bottom line, as they say, is success; and success has everything to do with numbers. Whatever brings the numbers in must be all right.
This is far from the church fathers who gave their lives to establish the church of Jesus Christ.
The problem, as I see it, is that we have lost the vision the fathers had of what we refer to as the New Testament church.
