Came across a quote by J. Wilbur Chapman (a minister in the 1700-1800s):

It’s not the ship in the water but the water in the ship that sinks it. So it’s not the Christian in the world but the world in the Christian that constitutes the danger.

I agree with you about relevance. It’s good but it’s bad if it rather than the gospel is your goal!.

When a church changes to try and be ‘relevant’ – it becomes irrelevant. Too often they become mirrors that reflect our culture, instead of windows that show us something different, something better.

I forget who said that. I heard it somewhere.
