This is a flyer from Revolution Church in NYC -http://www.revolutionnyc.com/. What is your feeling about a church using such a method to reach the unchurched or the X-churched? I understand the why they are doing it and I think its effective "marketing" for reaching their "niche". But the question to wrestle with, is it Biblical? And does it reflect Jesus well? I hope to receive many comments. Start wrestling ;-)
Script on the flyer says "As Christians, We're sorry for being self-righteous judgmental bastards. Revolution NYC A church for people who have given up on church. "
I'm pretty sure their approach the lost using earthly approach isn't prob the best way....But really only time will tell as fruit is made or not from it. John 15:19 came to mind "If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you." I'm pretty sure Jesus would have approached it diff...and when I "market" I see no need to cuss. :o(

ReplyDeleteto each his/her own. Not the way I would do it but probably got a lot attention!
ReplyDeleteThe language used isn't the best introduction for the "un-churched". It may grab the attention of the "x-churched". But, we shouldn't reflect the world that we have been called from. Our focus should always be to reflect Christ. If we lift Him up, He will draw all unto Him.
