They are true warriors and sons of Issachar. NCMC Postmodern Ministry Anyone who has failed to notice that a megashift in western culture has occurred must have been asleep with Rip Van Winkle for the past twenty years. We now live in a post-christian, postmodern culture. Businesses that failed to respond to this megashift are dead or dying. In business, when there are plateaued and declining branches, we simply cut our losses and move on to new ventures.
New products can revive a dying business.
But the church can't have a new product. The gospel is the gospel. And even if it is not good or news to some people, it is still God's power for salvation to everyone who believes. It is not the gospel that causes churches to plateau and decline. Nor do I believe that failure is due primarily to the wrong kind of music or leadership or facilities.
