Are some churches too "Edgy"?

I heard a conversation this week between two believers that fascinated me.  The topic of conversation was whether or not certain churches were too “edgy” in their approach to worship, preaching the gospel, etc.  Both sides made good points (which I won’t go into at the present time) and made me to start thinking about the Gospel as it relates to culture.

Here is where I feel the Bible sheds light on the topic:

• Luke 15:3-7.  Here Jesus talks about going into the “open country” to find the one lost sheep.  He even states that the shepherd leaves the ninety-nine sheep to find the one.  Some of those lost souls out there are on the edge of the open country.  When churches go out of their way to find those on the edge, some of their methods (as it relates to culture) may come across “edgy”.  I do believe that when those lost in the open country come to know Jesus, it is a big deal!  In verse 7 it says that the angels rejoice more over the one who needed to repent than the ninety nine that didn’t.  
• Maybe the conflict isn’t the methods of how to reach those folks (church style/worship/etc.) but the difference of opinion between believers on “Why do church?”  Some folks approach church solely as a place for believers to congregate & worship God.  Others approach church as a place to reach those who don’t know Christ.  I personally believe that the churches who get it right are those who do both, and do both well.

What is my point?  The older I get, the slower I am to point a finger on what other churches are doing.  Do some get it wrong from time to time?  Yes!  We are all sinners, and we all make mistakes.  The important point to be made is that God is a big God, and can do whatever He wants to bring glory to Himself.  A person who is without Christ may not set foot into one type/style of church but can be reached from the pulpit of another.  As Christians, we should be supportive and encouraging of our brothers and sisters trying to reach those on the edge rather than quick to tear them down.  Christ went after all kinds of folks.  Even today, He uses all kinds of people / methods / churches to reach those He is calling to salvation.
