The Trouble with Church

Posted in Faith and Practice at 9:04 am by Jeff

Joe Carter has some interesting insights into what is “wrong” with church.

I have a confession to make: I don’t like church… [N]o matter where I go there is always one idiot who ruins the experience for me. They think they know more theology than the pastor or believe they would do a better job leading worship than the music minister. They are invariably unfriendly, judgmental, hypocritical, and more than a little bit smug. Every church I go to I find a fool like that and so I shop around trying to find one that won’t let someone like that join their ranks. But he’s always there. No matter what I do I can’t shake him. Because that guy is me.

    The church or better know as “the Body of Christ”

    Jesus as the Head.

    Is knowing individually not the outward but by the inner man!

    So it does not matter where you are but knowing you have the holy sprit to guide and teach you.

    Our Father God only see’s this as his “sold out Blood Bought Church” !

    You will find his sprit among the host in any born again filled church!

    We welcome All “The Sprit says Come” and “the Bride says Come”

    Get washed in the Redeeming Blood of our Savior Lamb Jesus today.

    Hey,
    I really enjoy your blog! Thanks for your honest heart and truthfulness, it is refreshing to hear someone be real. Its cool to read about real people who serve Jesus.

    I am a musician, and I would be honored if you would check out my music. All music on my site is free for download. Anyway, don’t want to be a pest, I just thought that I’d share.

    Thanks,
    -Sean
