I hope this response is not too late to catch the attention you, dear Stephen, and those who have posted comments…..There is a wonderful book I have just finished reading that will absolutely fit right in with what you all have been saying, SO YOU DON’T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH ANYMORE? by Wayne Jacobsen. Don’t let the title fool you. Perhaps it was named just to get attention. It’s an awesome book and I heartily recommend it. He co-authored THE SHACK. (Another great book.) But you’ve got to read SO YOU DON’T WANT TO GO TO CHURCH ANY MORE? You just have to!

Good word Steve. I really believe if we all would prepare for church like you are attempting to do before arriving, we would see God do some amazing things. The key is that each individual believer is excited about Jesus, not just the church.

Sweetheart… you hit the nail right on the head. I think I’m ready to start my ministry now. Really.

Yeah, it would be nice if more people would take this approach and attitude. Maybe church wouldn’t have to be on Sunday morning in a big cathedral with well-rehearsed routines. Maybe God could shake our foundations more often instead of us having to be the movers and shakers…

And since I’m shamelessly plugging Philip’s ministry, here’s a link to his facebook group : http://www.facebook.com/reqs.php#/group.php?gid=19004154503

Well, like I said, I know it’s a tall order. But isn’t that what it’s supposed to be? If God’s not there, why should we bother? Too many people have already “been to church”.

Hey, Philip. Thought of you immediately when I read that “come and see” passage in John. When we doing lunch?

Nice Steve, I’m starting to see your view of what the church is, and what it has been intended to be… Your right why not healings, why not have peirced hearts, why not see miracles performed???? WHY NOT?

We have power and authority Jesus Christ has with all respect and honoring going to him, we need to believe and we need to speak it over ourselves and put it into action…

“Church! Can anything good come from there?” Have you been listening to my heart?
