GETTING THE WORLD TO LISTEN
An observation made by George Barna is that Americans are most open to accept philosophies, people and programs that respond to their felt needs through “highly personalized and relevant messages.” They are looking for something that is “fresh and exciting, but credible and substantive… that which is solid but flexible.” Barna’s analysis: The Christian faith that is “promoted by our churches today, offers few of these traits.” The churches that will make an impact in the future are those who are willing to step forward with this kind of unencumbered Christian faith. Adapted from The Frog in the Kettle, What Christians Need to Know About Life in the Year 2000, by George Barna, published by Regal Books, 1990, pg. 119 (14.95)
