It’s a watered down gospel
Fit for the consumer
Methodology replaces theology
Polls determine what message is preached
Truth is couched in entertainment
To make it more palatable
The offense of the cross
Has strategically been removed
No mention of sin
Nor the need for repentance
Biblical faith is abandoned
In exchange for having ears tickled
Emotions are stirred
But lives are not transformed
Large numbers the reflection of God’s blessing
Popularity the measure of success
Focused on the breadth of ministry
They have forsaken the depth
