#096// Does the Church need a little "Come to Jesus" chat right about now?
If you're someone who goes to Church meetings on the regular, let me ask you something . . .
Are you following a *life philosophy* or the real and living Jesus Christ? Did I offend? I certainly hope not, but I also know that this question tends to be a "button" these days for those who "identify as Christian," but are more into "buffet-style Christianity," taking the tenets of the Bible to be more of a target to be aimed at, instead of submitting to the Lordship of Jesus and His commands, and walking fully in the love He exampled for us to follow in.
It's sad, but it's true. The Church that Jesus is building has become "watered down" at the hands of some who feel safer keeping God in a box and making it all about a personal and manageable perspective of God and His Kingdom, while throwing in a whole host of pragmatic programs that prioritize meeting practical needs, sometimes over our spiritual ones.
It's time to let Jesus out of the box!
Jesus is ALIVE. And the Church He is building is meant to be alive, as well. Are we being encouraged, empowered and equipped in our Church communities to get out there and preach the Gospel and make disciples who follow the real Jesus? And are we engaging our own faith in the process? This is what we're getting into on this week's episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast. So, if you're ready to get into it, grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!
Join the Bible Study I Mentioned On This Episode: Jesus is perfect theology and we're on a journey to zero in on what it really means to follow after and live like Him. Would you like to join us for a Bible study where we're digging deeper and focusing in on the life of Jesus? Join us in The ROCC on Tuesday nights at 7:30pm ET where we're digging into the book of John in this season. Pastors Doug & Erica will be leading throughout the study.
