IF YOU HATE CHURCH: THE SERIES CONTINUES

We're 2 weeks into the If You Hate Church series and I'm loving every minute of it. I think I could stay with this for years. I love addressing the issues that plague Christianity and I revel in unpacking the reasons people do not attend church.

This weekend we will be talking about judgmentalism - the top complaint against the church according to our survey. Over 2/3 of the people who took the survey agreed or strongly agreed that people who go to church are quick to judge others. What does this mean for the church? How do we hold to the standards of the Bible and still heed Christ's call to "judge not, lest you be judged"?

Hope to see you Sunday as we wrestle with this issue together.

wrestle on!!!
it just doesn't matter, but when we do judge, it is felt very deeply by the one that may be rejected or patronized, etc...
that's the way that many folks like to show that they are better.. the lie is pitiful.. hope that many that come will find love that is unconditional and when they feel judged, maybe they confuse it with guilt from the enemy; or the father using those emotions to lead us straight into his perfect love/arms..
bless you guys, lis
