Sadly its only too true

Theres a church near me thats into skateboarding (building skate parks), hard rock music and 'death' music and allowing dope smoking to get young hippies in.

I just left a 'purpose-driven' church and this article described it to a 'T'. The pastors there had wonderful intentions but everything started to go downhill with their 40 days of purpose campaign. And, it is very true, the newer folk I chatted with had moved to our church from other churches. I ended up leaving because people weren't 'growing' and, although service was fun and the coffee kiosk was wonderful, our church was becoming more of a social thing and less about God. I run into others from the church and they have either left or realizing something feels 'off'. We still have a number of friends there and will still attend a few of the extra activities but we realize that is more of a social time.

I'm now attending a Calvary Chapel and in the few months I've been there, I've not heard the 'Purpose Driven Life' mentioned once...and that's a good thing!
