So i finished reading this book a few months ago and as i was tidying up my book 'collection' i came across it and it got me thinking about dissilussioned christians (once again)
It is worth a read.
Life without Chruch. It's getting easier to imagine.
And maybe you already left. A leaver, one among a growing number of them, committed to Jesus, not an institution.
Whether Sunday mornings find you alone in a bedroom or isolated in a church of thousands this book is a call to a unifying task, to be the church. A church that Lives and Breathes, a church that births breathing and Living to the fullest.
I am longing for a church that facilitates and imparts life to all that are apart of her.
I am desiring a church that is more than a place for worship on sunday but a dynamic organism inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit.
A church that does not use holiness as a weapon of judgement and power over people, but a cup of cold soothing water for a parched, sin dryed soul seeking somethin more than an institutional lip service.
There are dissillusioned christians sitting in our pews each sunday, some of them we would never suspect.
May the Gospel draw each of us dissilussioned or not into something deeper than cliche words and meaningless verbage towards another level of love and service for Jesus.
