I can't speak of your home church, but I can tell you that the changes which caused you some unrest and concern is something which I would suggest that you are going to see happening more and more in every denomination in the coming months and years. There is a general "drift" away from the doctrines of Scripture which have been written down in the Confessions of years gone by and a movement toward "seeker-friendliness", entertainment, Madison Avenue methodology applied to worship, evangelism and the Christian life in general. We are living in perilous times. Should the Lord Christ return tomorrow, would He find true faith on the earth?

Quote
Jeremiah 6:15-17 (KJV) "Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? nay, they were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore they shall fall among them that fall: at the time [that] I visit them they shall be cast down, saith the LORD. Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where [is] the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk [therein]. Also I set watchmen over you, [saying], Hearken to the sound of the trumpet. But they said, We will not hearken."

Hosea 4:6-9 (KJV) "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children. As they were increased, so they sinned against me: [therefore] will I change their glory into shame. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings."

In His Grace,
