WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SEEKER-FRIENDLY MEGA CHURCHES AND THEIR CHURCH GROWTH MOVEMENT? The mindset of pastors was transformed from seminaries on down through Bible colleges, denominations, and then to organizations. The whole definition of success with the Church Growth Movement has nothing to do with spiritual growth because that only comes from preaching the whole Word of God. The last thing Jesus said was not, “Add a bunch of believers so you can crank the numbers up to fill your big sanctuary.” Instead, He said to go into the world and make “discipled leaners” (in the Greek) of God’s Word. So, the top focus is supposed to be on the spiritual growth of Christians, which is preaching the entire Word of God. That will make tons of evangelizers. Instead, for 25 years the Church Growth Movement’s mantra has been, “It’s all about numbers.” Frankly, I think that is aiding apostate behavior and not carrying out Jesus’ directive for us.
