The size of the crowd rather than the depth of the heart determined success. If the crowd was large then surely God was blessing the ministry. Churches were built by demographic studies, professional strategists, marketing research, meeting “felt needs” and sermons consistent with these techniques. We were told that preaching was out, relevance was in. Doctrine didn’t matter nearly as much as innovation. If it wasn’t “cutting edge” and consumer friendly it was doomed. The mention of sin, salvation and sanctification were taboo and replaced by Starbucks, strategy and sensitivity.

CULT or NOT

What the Bible says about the: ‘Nature of God ‘

    Mary Baker Eddy says that Christ, and therefore miracles too, did not physically exist.
    Christ existed physically:
    Matt 1:18-25 she brought forth her first-born son
    Luke 1: 30-38 she shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son
    Isaiah 7:14 the virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son
    Christ’s miracles were ‘real’ and ‘unquestionable’ (witnessed by many)
    Matt 8:2,3 heals the leper
    John 11 raising of Lazarus from the dead
    Matt 8: 14,15 healed man with palsy
    Matt 9: 27-30 healed blind man
    Mark 1:32-34 heals sick, cast out devils
    John 2:1-11 water to wine
    John 6:10-14 feeding of the 5000
