Actually, I do find their idea intriguing. I do believe the Body needs a good shaking every now and then, if only to assess the impact that: -God is having through them (in order to affect others) -God is having in them (in order to affect one another) But yes, my bro., I might pop in here time to time. God bless. ^What he said…

Actually, I do find their idea intriguing. I do believe the Body needs a good shaking every now and then, if only to assess the impact that:

-God is having through them (in order to affect others)
-God is having in them (in order to affect one another)

But yes, my bro., I might pop in here time to time. God bless.

The problem isn't Sunday morning (or whenever) services - the problem is what happens (or doesn't happen) in the lives of Christians the other 6 days. But sometimes you have to do something radical to shake things up. I applaud the church for having the guts. There are always different approaches to how Christians relate to culture. Lately I've been really intrigued by how the Orthodox church sees it--they haven't changed not only for decades, but literally for well over 1,000 years. Their services reflect the earliest forms of Christian corporate worship, and more and more people are attracted to it. People want authentic faith, and whatever form that takes is secondary, I think, to faithfully living out obedience to Jesus.
