Are big changes taking place in your church? Has the expository preaching of the Word of God been replaced by lectures in “Psychology 101?” Have the messages from the pulpit been so permeated with “tolerance” that sin is no longer identifiable? Has the emphasis of reaching the lost for Christ been replaced by the mantra bringing in the unchurched? Does the pastor use so many translations of the Bible that you are no longer sure what the Bible actually teaches? Have the hymnals been trashed in favor of the overhead projector? Has the choir been supplanted by a contemporary “praise band?” Has the direction of the Holy Spirit on the service been replaced by “40 Day” campaigns? Has your church mushroomed in size with throngs of people that have no idea of what they believe? If the answer to the majority of these questions is “yes,” your church is falling victim to Outcome-Based Religion.

Outcome-Based Religion is another manifestation of the 21st Century that is all about meeting the needs of the consumer with as little inconvenience as possible. It is no secret that we have become a “Super Walmart Society” that flocks to the mega-store, the mega-mall and yes, even the mega-church. Church growth has become the order of the day within broad-based protestantism, evangelicalism, and even fundamentalism with the catch-phrases like “seeker-sensitive,” “seeker-friendly,” and “purpose-driven” becoming household terms among conservative religious individuals.

Unfortunately, the developers of the methods and practices currently implemented to build this New Paradigm Church have not considered the Word of God as a valid source document in the developmental process. In lieu of an operational system built upon God’s absolute truth, they have chosen a strange mixture of behavioral science, marketing techniques, “Management by Objective”, General Systems Theory, and cultural relativism bathed in religious terminology to concoct a program for optimal church growth.

This book gives the reader the vital information needed to identify the warning signs needed to stand in defense of the Faith in the face of this gathering storm of apostasy. It should be required reading for all pastors and laypeople who desire to understand the deceptive nature of this apostasy, and particularly those who are battling this movement within their own church. Finally, this book exposes the very real danger that if this movement continues unchecked, there may well arise a new generation that “knows not the Lord.”

CHURCH APOSTASY ALERT ADDITION

Preface - OUTCOME-BASED RELIGION !

• OUTCOME-BASED RELIGION-Chapter 1-The True Church
  In order to understand the influence of Outcome-based Religion on Fundamental and Evangelical congregations, one must first have the prerequisite knowledge of the Church as a whole, and specifically the requirements for any organization that calls itself a "church". This chapter lays the groundwork that reveals the roots of true Christianity, and the knowledge necessary to grasp the issues that have threatened the Church from its inception. Unless we can truly learn from the mistakes of the past, we will be unprepared to defense Lucifer's future implementation of those same strategies.

• THE ORIGINS OF MODERN APOSTASY - Chapter 2 Modern religious unbelief did not erupt in the scene over night. The apostasy that permeates Christianity today has its roots all the way back to the early years of the Church. In order to grasp the tactics of Lucifer implemented in today's "Outcome-based Religion", one must first understand the significance of the struggles of Bible-believing Christians in centuries past to preserve the purity of the Faith for successive generations. This chapter documents these struggles from the Middle Ages through the pivotal 19th Century.
  



• Chapter 3 - TWENTIETH CENTURY APOSTASY 1900-1965 (avaiable for online reading)
  The War against the Word of God and its doctrinal truth was on. The turning of the 20th Century witnessed the drawing of the battle lines, the strategic alliances of the warring factions, and the implementation of a full-scale assault. The defenders of the Faith stood firmly on the Word of God, but there were even those within their own ranks who were not willing to make the necessary sacrifices to stand for Truth. Just when it looked as though the Defenders of the Faith were making great gains, the war expanded to other fronts with more enemies participating in the assault. In the midst of all of this, Outcome-based Religion reared its ugly head to further attack from within. The 65 years covered in this chapter details the men, the mission, and the battles of those who stood for Truth. This account is vital in understanding the inception and scope of today's threat of Outcome-based Religion.

• Chapter 4 - FUNDAMENTALISM 1950-1975
  A HOUSE BUILT UPON THE SAND
  One of many undeniable truths is the fact that success is measured over time, and that successful endeavors (whether spiritual or mundane) must indeed survive the test of time. The Fundamental Independent Baptist Movement of the 1950s through the early 1970s failed the test of the decades following the 1970s. The Independent Baptists have been submerged in the tidal wave of the Charismatic Movement, and many of the survivors are now drowning in the "purpose-driven", "seeker-friendly" models of modern Outcome-based Religion. How could a movement of God so vibrant have so quickly succumbed to the onslaughts of apostasy and false teaching? This chapter will delve into the history of the period from 1950 to 1975 in order to further establish the foundation for today's Outcome-based Religion.

• Chapter 5 - THE CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT

  
  The origins of Outcome-based religions are found as pieces to a jigsaw puzzle lodged within the heart of major movements that have traversed the religious scene of the past 100 years. Perhaps none of these movements made as large a contribution to Outcome-based Religion as the 3 Waves of the Charismatic Movement. This chapter will explore not only the origins and history of Charisma, but also the source and dangers of “tongues”, “signs and wonders”, the charges of the end-time apostles, and Reconstructionist Dominion Theology.
  

• Chapter 6 - THE RISE AND FALL OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT

  
  While it is true that "politics and religion make strange bedfellows", this has certainly been the case of the modern "Religious Right". The politics within the Religious Right have not only affected the Church directly, but outside influences have filtered into the Church via the conduit of the political/religious subculture. All of these influences have aided in the growth of Outcome-based Religion, and must be recognized by the Child of God who wishes to remain faithful to the Word of God. This chapter explores the past, reveals the present, and projects the future of the Religious Right in such a manner to equip God's servants for the current and coming spiritual struggles resulting from these unholy political alliances.
  

• Chapter 7 - NEW VALUES FOR A NEW MILLENNIUM

  The Church of Jesus Christ is under assault from without and within. The values of the New Millennium are attacking at the very fiber of the Church, and many are surrendering to the deceptions of the modern culture instead of standing to fight. Where did this attack originate and what are the enemies of God's people seeking to accomplish? Worse yet, are some who call themselves Evangelical or Fundamentalist ignorantly aiding and abetting the enemy?

• Chapter 8- PLAYING CHURCH BY THE NUMBERS - Part 1 (avaiable for online reading)

  The manuscript of Outcome-based Religion has devoted 7 chapters to develop the history and prerequisites required for one to fully comprehend the creeping apostasy that has infiltrated many (if not most) Fundamental and Evangelical churches today. Chapter 8 begins Part 2 of the book that details the men, methods, and concepts of the threat posed by the so-called "purpose-driven" or "seeker-friendly" teachings that are running roughshod over the "Evangelical Community". Chapter 8 will begin to synthesize the attributes of the historical accounts of the first 7 chapters into a concise plan for drastic change, and as a result, will create a well-documented rebuttal to those who would transform every aspect of the "Old Time Religion" into the "New Paradigm Church".

• Chapter 9 - PLAYING CHURCH BY THE NUMBERS - Part 2

  THE RULES OF THE NEW PARADIGM CHURCH GAME  (Rules 1-3)

  The Church of Jesus Christ must align itself with the principles of the Word of God. This alignment dictates that the Church is to be holy and separated from the world. For the Church to become like the world in order to reach the world is not a biblical principle, but a man-made philosophy. To add error to error, when one philosophy of man invades the Church, others will follow. The current move to transition the church to become more acceptable to the postmodern culture is nothing more than a marketing scheme to inflate the numbers on the church roles. However, the methodology used to make this transition is not only an affront to the principles of the Word of God, but is also the greatest threat to true Christianity in the world today. The review of the rules of the New Paradigm Church Game will reveal aspects of the Church Growth Movement that will sound the alarm to all who are considering participation in Outcome-based Religion. .

• Chapter 10 - PLAYING CHURCH BY THE NUMBERS - Part 3

The ominous threat to true Bible-based Christianity is very real, and those in the Church Growth Movement are rapidly destroying the "Faith" believers have been charged by the Word of God to defend. In this chapter, the plot really begins to thicken as more rules of the New Paradigm Church Game are analyzed in the light of the teachings of the Word of God. The idea expressed by Rule 4 that the growth of a ministry is synonomous with the blessings of God is absolutely absurd, but Outcome-based Religion insists this is indeed the case. The charge of Rule 5 that one should never communicate the Word of God in an "outdated style" is also blatantly ridiculous. The aspects of these modern ministry ideas and processes include discussions of "The Kingdom of God", "Christian Psychology", English translations of the Bible, the "Hollywood standard" as to what is boring or entertaining, and other subjects designed to make one take a step back and think about so many of the issues in the church that Christians tend to accept at face value .

• Chapter 11 - PLAYING CHURCH BY THE NUMBERS - Part 4

 THE RULES OF THE NEW PARADIGM CHURCH GAME  

The 2 final rules of the New Paradigm Church Game complete instructions for the process of church transitioning by dealing with the most emotional issues in the entire game plan: 1) The style of music for the New Paradigm Church and 2) How to deal with opposition to the transition. The biblical position and the New Paradigm position are once again in direct conflict on these issues, and the unless the process is based on the Word of God, the outcome of exponential church growth may well be achieved---but at what cost?

• Chapter 12 - THE NEW PARADIGM HALL OF FAME:
   THE PIED PIPERS OF THE 21stCENTURY

• Chapter 13 -LIVING IN THE TIME OF THEPARADIGM SHIFT

  (avaiable for online reading)

As society embraces postmodern philosophies, the concept of absolute truth becomes more diminished. Minds are changing as the times change. This is called a “Paradigm Shift”. In opposition to such a change of mind, the true Church must stand against changes that attack the Word of God as absolute truth. However, the New Paradigm Church seeks to attract those of a postmodern mindset by embracing the postmodern culture. As this manuscript digs deeper into the origins of the methodology used in the Purpose-driven, Seeker Sensitive Church Growth Movement, the discoveries become not only more astounding, but absolutely appalling. This chapter exposes the origin of the methodology, the source of the financing, and the tragic impact of the New Paradigm Outcome-based Religion.
