Preaching Pragmatic Propaganda | The Church Search
Description
First, set the mood: Dim the lights, cue the emotional beats, and start the smoke machine. Add in a few strobe lights and the scene is set for a rock concert - no wait, I mean for church! Ah, the pragmatic churches will do anything to get you in the door. It's a numbers game for them, which means full throttle marketing, a motivational TED Talk, and just a few Bible verses sprinkled in.
One of the chief offenders, setting up churches all over the nation, is the ARC - The Association of Related Churches. Join Elizabeth Giles and Monika Walker as we cruise through a bird's eye view of the churches of the ARC and similarly styled pragmatic churches.

When this is the day you realize your church is pragmatic, it's time to leave. It can be painful to part ways, but you will never regret leaving a pragmatic church, in order to sit under the faithful teaching of God's Word.
