‘Simple Church’ or another Smoke Screen?

Paul Proctor — ‘Simple Church’ or another Smoke Screen?: “Well, it seems the mad scientists of the church growth movement have once again emerged from the laboratory of the living dead with yet another chia pet project for the jaded masses. The latest concoction they’ve come up with is something called “Simple Church.”

“Whatever you might think of the Simple Church concept, this Lifeway article by Mrs. Shrout says nothing about preaching Christ crucified or feeding the Lord’s sheep, but only promotes another book, program and process designed by men who are focused on Results & Relationships rather than repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. “

Someone is always reinventing church for a postmodern generation that cannot accept God given truth. It is not surprising that the latest movement would come from the men and women out of “Lifeway”. After all “Lifeway” reinvented Southern Baptist Sunday schools which has now become just a study of their magazines.

If you really want “Simple Church” forget about all these vain philosophies of men and just get back to the simple basic biblical doctrines of the faith.
