What the seeker needs is TRUTH. Jesus came to reveal truth and that is what we must be about. Teaching Truth; and yes it is offensive and that is what the world needs. I agree that church must be a friendly place, a warm place, again a place where truth is taught.

I "feed at home and go to church to party with the saints", the food (spiritual food at church is to confirm what the Holy spirit is teaching me in my own study time) Food for the baby believers is good no mater what, if it seems a little meaty for them it causes them to dig deeper. "It's in there!" is my favorite encouragement to new believers, and when they ask where, I will sit down and share with them and help them all I can with out overwhelming them. We all need to learn to seek God's word for everything.

Our church has been focusing on small group studies in homes, and i beleive it is the way we need to proceed. It's not a new comcept! Afterall where did the first churches start?

In my opinion, the fundamental flaw with the notion of being seeker-friendly is very simply this. There are no seekers. No one seeks after God. Psalm 53 says,

1The fool says in his heart, "There is no God."
They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
there is none who does good.

2God looks down from heaven
on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,[b]
who seek after God.

3They have all fallen away;
together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
not even one.

God says no one seeks after him - not one.

What we call seekers are people looking for a cheap fix. They want to feel good. You think I'm being cruel? Ask the average seeker to become a living sacrifice. He will either dig his heels in or run to the next watering hole that makes him feel good. Preach the sovereignty of God, man's responsibility to his Maker, and abject failure, God's mercy and grace. You'll get fewer people, but disciples.
