Persuasive Words, Bad Idea

And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:4,5

Picking up on my previous post, here is the verse that jumped out at me a few months back and is why I no longer am a fan of the "seeker church".

It is not our style of cutting edge music, or latest trend clothes, or hip lingo and naughty words that attract people to Christ. It is the Holy Spirit.

This isn't to deny the need of sound preaching or being kind to people.

It does remove the "cool" factor from our witness.
