You are so right about the advertising. What does it mean to me when I see Jeff Gunn's pet project "CrossWalk" advertise that they basically aren't your average boring/crappy/dull/stuck-up church. So, under what category, dear Rev. Gunn does my church fall under? You haven't left many flattering categories left for my congregation.
The whole thing sets up this false dichotomy in people's head, just like the WELS Parish Assitance survey question that goes like this:

ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.
