Confession – De-Churched Part 2

We don't talk enough about this, because it means admitting that we don't have it all together. It would mean admitting that we are still growing, and that we don't have all the answers. Sadly, this isn't tolerated in the church today. We have to have all the answers, and present this shiny, happy, fake image of ourselves to the world. We might think we are doing good, but we really aren't. If anything we're hurting ourselves, and the message.

De-Churched: How The Church Lost Me – Part 1

For someone who doesn't wear a suit or speak good 'Christianese', the church has little to offer. Everyone calls one another 'brother' and 'sister,' yet they treat their neighbors better. We call it 'fellowship' and yet there is little if any real community going on. For the hundreds and thousands of people like me, we didn't choose to be de-churched. We feel that the church left us.
