Your best life now
I was just reading Paul’s letter to Titus and the verse that struck me was “… so that no one will malign the word of God.” As a generation of Christians I think we have missed that message somehow!
I dont think many people know that “Titus” is in the Bible.
To be honest, I would be all over this kind of service, but the preaching would have to be stellar. I pastor a mostly-senior congregation that is very traditional, whereas I am growing weary of many traditional elements in church. I love hymns, but so many that we sing are so theologically, well, blah. I love many modern praise songs, but I can say the same for them as some of the hymns. I’ve not worn a tie since early summer (rebel!) and wear blue jeans (and sometimes shorts) to bible study on Sunday and Wednesday nights. However, I still preach 40-45 minutes and never skimp on our damning unrighteousness and desperate need for God’s grace in Christ to be made new. I don’t really fit in this context, yet it’s where God has placed us. Hmmmm….
What makes them so sure that people who don’t like church LIKE hanging out in auditoriums with fist-pumping music and inspirational speakers in pearl-snap cowboy shirts?
