Tragedy of being "Seeker-Friendly"

This is a church called "New Spring" that is located in Anderson, SC. The senior pastor is Perry Noble and this video gives you a good idea as to the philosophy and ministry. It is well made, entertaining and what many in our culture would call in good fun. But from a heavenly perspective it is a tragedy! The church in Greek is "ekklesia" which means those who are called out and separated. It seems to me that the one lone gentleman in this video may have gotten the message but hoped beyond all hope that others like him would want church in lieu of the Super Bowl. Listen carefully to the words of what is said in this video clip and it will give insight into the methodology of New Springs when it comes to their ministry goals and objectives.
"We at New Spring want to watch the Super Bowl, just like the rest of you (world), so we are going to." This is how we are being told to grow church and that is by becoming what people want us to be and doing what everyone else does. When they (unbelievers) see and understand that we watch the Super Bowl like everyone else then they will come and embrace Jesus just like we do - right? This is where we need good Bible doctrine teaching in order that there can be good Christian living. But "pastor" Perry doesn't think we need to feed the sheep, as a matter of fact if you don't like it then as he would say "go back to your old church."
