The Come-To-Us stance taken by the attractional church is unbiblical. It’s not found in the Gospels or the epistles. Jesus, Paul, the disciples, the early church leaders had a Go-To-Them mentality. Full Post >>
Very thought provoking article, found via Jordon Coopers blog. It points out three issues with contemporary church:
The Christendom-era church has these three flaws in its DNA; it is attractional, dualistic and hierarchical.
Well worth the read.

I totally agree with the things said in this article. I know Ed and I have been experiencing similar thoughts about the churches we’ve known. The problem is that we as “a church”...Manna… really don’t know how to do it differently. We know how to personally be the church in our individual lives, though we may not always do it, but what should we do when we come together? And coming together is important. The worship, the studying of the Word, the care for each other are things that I need and desire. Somehow we need to motivate each other to see the importance of living our faith daily, like the guy you met at the Salvation Army store, Mike. Any thoughts on how to do that?
