Pop Goes the Church

"Every church is relevant to pop culture; some are just relevant to a pop culture of yesterday.  To say you are not concerned with pop culture is to say you are actually stuck in a previous era, and only acting as if that era was 'more holy' than the one we are in now."

"You have to decide your goal: Focus on reaching new people or focus on keeping disgruntled people.  You can't do both."

"If we use pop culture just to be cool, then it'll come across as a gimmick because it is.  If we are motivated by our desire to incarnate truth so people can understand God, then it'll come across as authentic."
