People will not come for that, and if they do, slides and golf and pop music wont do them any good. Where has this brought us, after all Church attendance has not grown, to say the least. The Church has to offer a challenge, a sense of the sacred, an acknowledgement of the truth that is present even if the truth is hard for some to swallow. Of course we are called to show love and acceptance, but though love is accepting of the person it can never leave truth behind, or else it cant be real love. It has often become very hard, impossible really, to distinguish between a church and a doctrine-free, feel-good NGO. So many churches put on ill-fitting trappings or accept every progressive trend that comes along, since we have to be welcoming and tolerant.
