One and Done

In its methodology and desire to be relevant has the western or American church not demonstrated that it is only concerned about the here and now? We seem to have no concern for future generations. We make all our decisions purely on what will work today. Some use some texts here and there to try and support what they do, but the real basis for why we do what we do is what will bring the people and be relevant to our society. Isn't relevance over-rated? Where is the chapter and verse that says, above all these virtues put on relevance? Are love and relevance interchangeable. Traditions are easily thrown away, with little thought. The impact of decisions today on generations tomorrow seems to be given no thought. No matter how good we feel our theology may be, if we do not give more consideration to the methodology we use to transport the truth we may find the impact of the American church of our generation being a One Hit Wonder.
