                                                         Today’s church has been invaded...

We warned. We didn’t listen. And now we’re paying the price.

Decades ago, the revered spiritual visionary AW Tozer declared, “Heresy of method may be as deadly as the heresy of message.”

In other words, the way a church worships and preaches can be as uplifting or damaging to the soul as the actual content of its songs and sermons.

Over the years, the church has both blindly and willingly embraced secular values and practices throughout all levels of its activities and organization—with this cultural assimilation giving rise to “worshiptainment” and performance-based pastorship. This foundational shift is pulling the church further away from Biblical worship principles and those taught by Christ Himself.

If this ongoing trend isn’t recognized and reversed, our very understanding of how to worship and relate to God may become defined by a world that not only doesn’t believe in Him, but outright rejects His Gospel. Author Ron Fessenden helps readers rediscover the Biblical patterns of worship and see just how much the secular has infiltrated many facets of their spiritual experiences.
