#1 - "The Church Is Not A Business But Rather A Hospital For Sinners."
Uh...OK, the problem with this argument is...a hospital IS a business...and if it is not ran properly then it will have to close its doors, thus losing its effectiveness in helping those it has been called to reach.

Like it or not in church world today leadership matters. God made sure we knew that leadership IS a spiritual gift and the reason it has been given was to help the church be more and more effective.
I personally believe the church should be the best ran organization on the planet because God has gifted and called leaders to lead AND filled them with HIS Holy Spirit so that they can do so.
#2 - "Too Many Churches Are Just Chasing Cool and Relevant."
Uh...so what's the opposite, chasing uncool, boring, predictable and meaningless?
Sure, churches can go off the deep end and worship creativity rather than the Creator. But to say that a church should not embrace creativity and innovation and leverage them for the use of the Gospel is insane.
Church should not be a place where people come and see what life was like on this planet during the 1960's and 70's...but rather a place where people encounter Jesus Christ and the preaching of HIS Word in an environment in which they understand. (One does NOT have to be sacrificed for the other!)
