OK, before I get too much further with this discussion of returning Christ's church to her roots, here's a video that David Felty sent me today. I think it demonstrates part of the issue we are facing today. Please, take it wherever the Holy Spirit would like to take you...

Ok... this was so funny.. I've invited some neighbors to church repeatedly to no avail.. and to be honest, I've wondered what would happen if they actually said yes.. I would like to see them there, but they are definitely not "church" people.. and I think therein lies the problem.. That in my flawed, fleshly thinking, those people dont fit in.. That we have defined in our minds what "church" people look and smell like, and when others who are outside of this culture come to church, we cringe and think "what are they doing here?" THAT'S THE SIN EGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLove that honesty, JT. What does it say about the state of our heart and our true relationship with the Lord if there are people we would rather NOT attend OUR church. Thnx for sharing.
