What's a good band worth then?
One suburban church sent out a mailer recently, promising an “informal, relaxed, casual, atmosphere,” “great music from our band,” and that those who come will, “believe it or not, even have fun.” That’s all great if you’re a coffeehouse. But anyone who claims to be calling people to the gospel of Jesus with those as their priorities is calling them to a lie. . .
Because people who hear the message of Christianity Lite think they’re hearing the gospel-think they’re being rescued from eternal judgment-when, in fact, they’re being tragically misled. . .
Tell everybody God wants them to be happy and successful and full of self-esteem. And someday, when they face Christ, they're going to say, "Lord, Lord!" and He's going to say,
"Depart from Me. I never knew you."
What's a good band worth then? About as much as healthy self-esteem.
