Postmoderns generally want to belong before they believe.
Moderns generally believe before they belong.
Postmodern understanding of truth: “Does it work?”
Modern understanding of truth: “Does it add up?”
Postmodern metaphor for faith: Journey.
Modern metaphor for faith: Decision.
Postmodern idea of discipleship: Am I moving in the right direction?
Modern idea of discipleship: Am I learning the right information? Doing the right things?
Postmodern idea of fellowship: Community is the end.
Modern idea of fellowship: Community is a means to an end.
Postmodern idea of evangelism: Incarnational, ask questions.
Modern idea of evangelism: Propositional, presentational, answer questions.
Just a thought.

Thinking about your written prose from an e-prime perspective could lead to a less dogmatic and clearer communication.
