It was not the first time I had heard of it. Christians making statements regarding their percieved need to make Christ's Church relevant for the day in which they live. To make Christianity relevant for their generation. When they make their self centerd ascertians, they often (I pray unwittingly) make light of those who have been serving faithfully for many years. They fail to recognize the abundant evidence of the Spirit's work in the walk of those whose relevancy they question. And their eyes appear closed to the wealth of ministry that has been accomplished by and through the Holy One in the "irrelevant" churches they make reference to.
I believe the "relevancy seekers" prove themselves irrelevant in their pursuits. You cannot seek to make Christ, His Word or His Church relevant. You cannot make something become that which it already is. Nothing is more relevant today, or any other day, than the Lord Jesus Christ. The Word of God is relevant. Christ's Church is relevant. The relevancy that I refer to is not based on what man determines it to be, but on God who is relevant!
