But what's in it for me?

Jim Bublitz, a self-proclaimed "refugee" from the "Seeker Sensitive/Purpose Driven movement" has a wonderful post and spoof video on "The Me Church." Besides the over-the-top but too-true-to-be-funny video, Jim gives these signs of a me-church:

• Are you treated like a "consumer" who needs customer service?
• Does your pastor preach sermons on topics that you want to hear, instead of what you really need to hear?
• Are his sermons packed with feel-good psychology and philosophy?
• Does your church try to entertain you with worldly music and drama?
• Do the sermons minimize or eliminate negative things in the bible?
• Is your worship music virtually indistinguishable from MTV and radio?
• What gets boosted more, your self-esteem or your bible knowledge?

Jim goes on to show how the church really ought to look. I recommend the post (HT: Pastur-ise me!).
