Some things are indeed tweakable and some things are not.

Some things need to be adjusted. Some things are indeed Tweakable.. like for the sake of effective bait, better order of service, background music at the right times, for the sake of it all being easily received (like in the language of the people i.e., the youth with their modified English or foreign language in a different country).. that you're currently trying to reach.

Some things are indeed tweakable and should be tweaked as times change, but some things are just NOT tweakable for presenting (and should never be tweaked cuz they're of this corrupt world system and have no place in churches or in our lives).

Some things aren't Tweakable when the Bible and pure wisdom from above says: "Child, leave it alone, leave it out--give them what's 100% true and edifying instead."

The core Christian Message, the Gospel with its crystal clear appeal regarding repentance, and faith in Jesus alone for salvation.. are NOT tweakable. Never will be. Scriptural doctrines, like regarding the Essentials are NOT tweekable and then presentable. God remains the same and so should those during every age.

Put it out there exactly as is and let the chips fall where they may with different people. Let God's Word and Spirit have His way, nothing impeding from us.

Can we clearly explain and expound upon our basic Bible-based truth-teachings? Yes, we want people to understand what these Scriptures meant to the original hearers, and what's transferable and true for our day.. how to wisely apply what the Bible says? Sure, have at it, explain well and let's never break fellowship with other believers over non-essentials. God's grace gives freedom here.

I don't want to get in God's way cuz I've probably in vain.. done that before to the benefit of no one!

Would you pray something like.. Lord help me/us not get in your way and help me/us to wisely tweak only what you intend for us to tweak for the benefit of others. Lord, use me today in living the sermon and then telling what so. Give more wisdom and grace. Make me/us wiser Fishermen and women, boys and girls.. for Your glory! Jesus, LIVE it and preach it through me/us--do powerful exploits fitting for these end times with so many hard-hearts and deaf ears around me/us.

We want to prize You more, Your promises and Word MORE than we do. We want to value Your Message MORE, over our different methods that can be altered in changing times... to see more come to Your altar. Have your way, Lord, and help us stay out of your way.. (starting with me).

God Help Me Be Candid In Prayer About My/Our Struggles.
Life here isn’t always so neat and tidy so why can't my prayers be real and from the heart -- honesty hearts are what You hear. Jesus, we want to know you well, and make you well-known.. this day. Everyday.

Romans 10:14a, 17 says, “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? …So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”

If we truly believe in God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, we have to believe that those who do not yet have a personal relationship with Him are in serious danger. Our time here (the deciding zone, earth) is so limited. If we truly believe this, how can we not love them enough to tactfully warn them with the Message?

Pray! We need another Jesus Movement -- a fifth great Awakening! The methods change, the moments change, the Message never does!

"We must not adopt the world's view and then tweak it to make it (allegedly) 'Christian.'  We must draw a line in the sand and stand firm in the radical teachings of Christ and His gospel.  We must preach the truth and be the examples of the truth (that minus spiritual compromise) we preach." ~ Paul Washer

Change your mind, opt to agree with the word of God regarding your sins. That's want true repentance is all about. Come and you are willing to be changed by God. Allow Him to bring the initial change (regeneration) and day by day change (sanctification).

I don't mean that you'd be conformed to this world system kind of change (He doesn't do that in anyone ever), but be transformed from the inside out.. by God from the power of His Word and Spirit inside.
