Messy Church

David C. Cook (July 1, 2012)

When God created the church, He didn’t build a corporation. He created a family. We are not called to be consumers who ask what the church can offer us. Instead, we are called to be a family, loving deeply, fighting fairly, and bringing hope to a new generation. A true family is where we are known, loved, accepted, and ultimately, where our deepest needs are met.

Church is about God. God’s glory. God’s Son. God’s Word. God’s presence. End of discussion. People come to church to meet with God, to worship God, to h ear from God. And yes, to experience God. God wants to be experienced, but we grieve His Spirit and push Him out of the church. The church His great Son founded. When did it all become so horizontal? Why was God shown the door in the name of reaching people? God is reaching people. But not the way most think.
