Seeker-friendly church "makeovers" are one of the most spiritually deadly innovations in recent Christendom. As far as I can see, there are two main problems here:

1. No one is seeking God - Romans 3:11. So all this effort to target the unsaved - using this assumption - is wasted effort. God is the one who first changes the heart. He does this by sovereignly applying His Truth by His Spirit to those He has called. This is done - at least from our point of view - when the Bible is faithfully preached and taught, and when nothing is left out or unbalanced. Seeker-friendly, by contrast, often leaves out much (sin, true repentance, Jesus as Lord, Hell). They do this in order to force an easier (i.e. spurious) and quicker response to the "gospel".

2. False seekers are being entertained while true seekers are being starved - Col. 3:1; Phil. 2:13.The wrong people are being attracted to our churches by, not only the wrong teaching, but also the wrong music. Music that glorifies ourselves (though subtly), cannot at the same time glorify God. Next time you are in church - if you do happen to be in one of these services - notice how much of the songs are given over to what we will do ("here I am to worship", "Jesus, I am so in love with you", "I found Jesus"), or how we feel ("I can only imagine"), instead of what God is. Often the songs are just plain irreverent ("dancing with my Father God in the fields of grace" - a mindless ditty that shows a misunderstanding of both what "grace" is and who God is). How are people to have a reverential awe of a God who they imagine they can dance with. Do they imagine that the same God who told us, Isa. 55:9

"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts"

will also come down to our level and dance with us?! No wonder we have lost the sense of worship.

The true seekers (Christians) are being starved because their shepherd, the pastor over them, is using up his energies - and their time - with calling unwilling goats to the flock of sheep, instead of just doing what Christ commanded all pastors to do, "Feed My sheep". Insteady of expounding the whole Word of God, the goats are being given a Reader's Digest version that (he hopes) will appeal to them.

Of course there are many responses to this type of preaching, most of it undesirable. When the "lord", small "l", is lifted up, the church is filled with "christians", small "c" = tares.
