simple

2/8/12 I am reading a book right now that is kicking my theological butt. It is making me very uncomfortable because it is so true to my church situation. The book is Simple Church by Thom S. Rainer & Eric Geiger. It contrasts a program church like mine whose calendar and rooms are full of wonderful busy activities versus a simple church where the goal is to help people follow Christ. I am being convicted that we do lots of good things at the church I serve, but I am not convinced that we are helping all that many people to fall in love with Christ in worship, deepen that relationship in community in a small accounability group, and then go out to serve others. I want to make church simple.

Love,
Lynn
