In my opinion the ideal church is values-driven while maintaining great sensitivity to felt needs of people, both in the church and in the community. In other words, felt needs should be processed through a grid of biblical values. Evangelical churches that are needs-driven are not directly heretical, but the content of their evangelism and their teaching about the Christian life teaching is subtly affected. In evangelism, for example, the value of holiness from which sinful human beings fall short is not emphasized. In teaching believers, for example, the needs-driven church emphasizes what the believers can get out of church attendance and activities rather than underscoring the attributes of God and teaching that He ought to be worshiped simply because He is God.
Agape love works for the happiness of the other without requiring reciprocation.
Agape love is a choice based on biblical values. I do good to you if you do good to me. People who have been discipled in a needs-driven church are not likely to give sacrificially to missions, because they see no immediate return. The deferred rewards to be given at the judgment seat of Christ tend to receive little consideration in the needs-driven church. The needs-driven church emphasizes the more immediate rewards.
