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. | image tagged in church,christian,disciple,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

ARE WE BECOMING & MAKING DISCIPLED LEARNERS, AS JESUS TOLD US TO? The last thing our Lord Jesus said before leaving earth was, "Go into all the world and make disciples,” (“Discipled LEARNERS” in Greek). Christ wanted ALL His followers to become discipled learners; not just those attending seminary. Unfortunately, we're not! Churches and Christians today are NOT teaching and learning all we can about Jesus. We do pay attention to anything and everything else. Our series, "Discipleship 101 & 102," remedies that for Christians, beginning the process of spiritual maturity that should have started at the moment of salvation. "Discipleship 101”
teaches Salvation, Assurance, Daily Time with God, Prayer Life, Personal Bible Study, Scripture Memorization, Confession of Sin, Dealing with Temptation, the Spirit-Filled Life, Obedience, God's Discipline, Developing Godly Habits of Living, Knowing God's Will, Stewardship and The Church. "Discipleship 102" covers Inspiration & Inerrancy, Bible Interpretation, The Trinity, The Deity of Christ, Salvation, Sanctification, Satan & demons, Future Events, Systemized Bible Study, Evidences For The Christian Faith, Biblical Family Values, The Role of the Man, Husband and Father, The Role of the Woman, Wife and Mother, and finally, The Role of the Children. | image tagged in disciple,learn,god,bible,jesus | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

PART TWO: WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT SEEKER-FRIENDLY MEGA CHURCHES AND THEIR CHURCH GROWTH MOVEMENT? It pursues successful growth at the cost of avoiding Bible prophecy, the wrath of God, backsliding, and hell? Those are all in the Bible. Often these Churches seek more and more attendees while preaching fluff and avoiding discipleship, as well as other truth given by God. Bible prophecy warns us that this was going to happen. Paul said this in Timothy: The Church in the last days will gather teachers around themselves, who will "tickle their ears” so that the Church turns away from truth and aside to “myths.” In the Greek those myths mean "pleasant things" and "stories made up.” That’s the Church-Growth-Movement model. And maybe it’s because they’re not equipped, but either way we can't leave it there. We should respectfully request that our shepherds teach all of the Bible. If your pastor refuses to teach the whole counsel of God, you need to fire him and get a shepherd who truly loves you. A shepherd is supposed to feed the flock all of God’s Word. “It
takes a whole Bible to make a whole Christian (Magee)." | image tagged in church,jesus,god,bible,christian,disciple | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
