Worship is Like Going to a Mall?

The United Methodist Church, the third largest denomination in the US is undergoing a remake as leaders try to find out what makes churches grow -in the midst of their dying denomination. They have gone to their own people to determine what works and does not. So... they are doing what many churches have done in order to fully secure their apostasy. Instead of going to scripture, they went to the people... assuming, surely they have the answers. The message is, don't bother with the Bible, statistics are enough! Here is a summary statement from one of the "successful" pastors with a church of "nearly 6200." He said,

"it has offered both traditional and contemporary worship services for years. At a contemporary service, congregants kick back with doughnuts and coffee, a live band plays music and clips from Hollywood movies are shown to illustrate Gospel messages. "Worship is like going to a mall," Millard said. "There are all kinds of stores. Some people like specialty shops. Some like department stores. When you have variety, people can go where they like.""
