Questions Allowed

We spent this past Sunday evening discussing the question "Why are people so turned off by church?" Many took the opportunity to express issues that negatively impact the mission of the church including legalism, narrow-mindedness, hypocrisy, having an entertainment mindset in worship, lack of genuine care, and a host of other reasons. Being serious about the mission of discipleship was given as one anecdote. I was struck by the level of honesty and again am very appreciative of the authenticity of the Forum crowd. Thank you to all who participated.
