Forward Progress: Attractional vs. Affectional Church
Stated: “I appreciate the desire for the church to be excellent in all areas. But the way this argument is presented is that without these things, the right soundboard, the great video, the engaging fireworks display, then people aren’t going to listen to the gospel.
Bull.
That’s an attractional church model, and my fear is that if a church is based on attraction, then it’s one small step from entertainment. Should the church be engaging? Yes. Challenging? Yes. Thought-provoking? Yes. Entertaining? No.”

James White said it best. What you draw them with is what you draw them to. The Church needs to look to transform the world, not imitate it.
