PS Daniel, watched the Sproul Mohler comments (didn’t first time, my bad).
WOW yep, that’s it.
1. The lost don’t seek God. Rom 3
2. The saints gather for worship (with regard to, but not deference to the tares)
3. Meeting felt needs to ‘earn a hearing’ doesn’t work and we sometimes never get to the hearing part.
4. It is a presupposition of disbelief. The word of God has power, not our schemes to fill the seats.

There’s a helpful thread in the comments of my previous article about the dangerous pragmatism manifest in some sections of the church. It helps to elaborate more precisely on why the Purpose Driven Life movement is so concerning.

Dear Daniel,
A good ‘primer’ on things Purpose Driven.
Pastor Gary Gilley based in Springfield IL has written many helpful articles and books dealing with ‘Market Driven’ and ‘Pragmatic’ issues.
On this link http://www.svchapel.org/resources/articles/21-church-trends?start=20 articles 33-36 and 25-26 should I believe prove helpful to interested readers.
