What is wrong with being relevant?

When did that become a bad thing?

What is to be gained by continuing to present the gospel in a manner that the "unsaved" consider to be irrelevant?

Was Jesus' message relevant?
There is nothing wrong with being relevant. Some people get all up in arms about it cause it challenges them to get out of the box they are comfortably in...and that creates a problem for them...they can no longer be comfortable that is their problem...(I'm not a big fan of Comfortable (c)hristians)....IMO
