Ecclesia

A call to abandon the church in order to find the Church-
What if I said that the spirit is dead in the modern church? Would that claim be believed? I am not saying that God is not in any believers, but rather that he is not in the community as a whole. How are we to establish this community? It cannot be done simply sitting and listening to someone with a theology degree speak. It must be engaged in spiritually, and not simply emotionally as worship leaders would have us believe. The modern church has two problems, three traits which cripple it: It is selfish, it is focused on emotion (and when taken together, focused on individual emotion) and it is religious (that is, legalistic). Let the church in America cry out against this, for we have exchanged the truth of God for a lie.
