Dependenta de Facebook, Tv si Internet
Puteti sa va inchipuiti pentru o clipa ce ar putea infaptui Dumnezeu daca milioane de crestini si-ar inchide vreme de patruzeci de zile televizoarele si facebookurile si si-ar inalta glasurile spre El?
Daruind lui Dumnezeu

Metode umane vs Metode biblice
Evanghelia predicata azi s-a dedicat pragmatismului, adicã nu-si mai orienteazã actiunea în mod consecvent dupã revelatia Bibliei, ci dupã ceea ce „functioneazã” si promite succes din punct de vedere omenesc. [cartea: Cresterea sau seducerea Bisericii?]
Donald McGavran si-a învãtat studentii sã nu-si mai orienteze metodele dupã învãtãtura Noului Testament, ci dupã ceea ce functioneazã cel mai bine (pragmatism). Prin amestecarea învãtãturii biblice cu întelepciunea acestei lumi (adicã cu stiinta) s-a produs o îndepãrtare de la învãtãtura sãnãtoasã a Bibliei. -[cartea: Cresterea sau seducerea Bisericii?]
Pentru seeker-friendly Isus ar fi fost un lider groaznic
By today’s new ‘Church Leadership’ standards Jesus was a clueless leader who obviously wasn't in tune with the 'worship experience' needs of His time and culture. Fact is, when you read the New Testament biographies you don’t read about Jesus discussing the latest leadership philosophies, church branding strategies, church marketing practices or the latest ideas for designing and creating holistic audio visual environments to help create the perfect mood for people to have an engaging worship experience.
Instead, when you read the New Testament you discover that Jesus often taught outside and Jesus’ teaching events were far from seeker-sensitive. When you compare Jesus' leadership practices to the new and improved leadership principles of Rick Warren, Bill Hybels, Leadership Network and others you'd have to conclude that Jesus was a complete failure as a leader and was in the dark when it came to meeting the felt needs of His target market.
A prime example of Jesus' utter cluelessness is found in the Gospel of Mark chapter 8. In the opening verses of that chapter we learn that Jesus held, for lack of a better term, a three day long “outdoor church conference” where He was the featured speaker. Here’s what Mark records about the event.
“In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat, he called his disciples to him and said to them, “I have compassion on the crowd, because they have been with me now three days and have nothing to eat. And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away.” (Mark 8:1–3)
