I see it happening with some Christians around me, trying to be like the world using the reasoning that they will win the world to Christ. But that is the opposite of what we are called to be. kristinethraen, you wrote: "While the postmodern church stumbles around, attempting to be “cool”, and to keep up with the world’s incessantly changing fads, it will only be laughed and mocked at, by the very eyes of those it wishes to appeal towards." well put...that about sums it up john I agree.

With it's fervent desire to be "relevant", the postmodern church will become irrelevant. While the postmodern church stumbles around, attempting to be "cool", and to keep up with the world's incessantly changing fads, it will only be laughed and mocked at, by the very eyes of those it wishes to appeal towards.
