I've heard the term "old fashioned" church many times. It's used to refer to what kind of church we want to build. The "old fashioned" ways of teaching and preaching are commonly stated. Is this the message we truly want to send people? If we are stating that this is "old fashioned" then we are telling others that the gospel is "old fashioned."
I, for one, don't see it as "old fashioned." I believe that when we state so we are saying there is a "new fashioned" way of teaching it. There is none. God gave us His Word, calls men to preach it, gave the churches the authority, and gave us Jesus. All throughout the ages until the end of the world, it has been and is supposed to be taught this way.
I hope we don't label our churches as "old fashioned." We are simply true, New Testament churches that teach the gospel the way Jesus taught.
