Is God’s Word Practical?

I believe that Mark chapter 4 is a very critical chapter in the Bible for us to understand. It explains very clearly the difference between God's role and the believers role in sharing the gospel. If you take the general teachings of most churches in America you will probably find that the church does not understand the truth that we discover in Mark chapter 4. The average church teaches that the church is not relevant for today's culture and must be more practical and the people need to feel more comfortable when coming to church. So what most do is to adjust the service to included elements to make sure the crowds are comfortable and they water down the Word of God. The whole point of the church today is to make the service more practical for the crowds, not understanding the word of of God will never be understood until God changes the hearts of people so they can hear and respond to God's word and extrude worship.
