A Church Growth Rant!!!
by Samuel Febres
People in China are being imprisoned, tortured and even killed because they are attempting to assemble together for worship and teaching. They have to sneak around and meet in unthinkable places. They don’t do this out of preference…but out of necessity. They are NOT a bunch of burned out bloggers and narcissists who are trying to make the world all about them!
However, self serving, self centered Americans take their “model” and blow it completely out of context. We live in a country that allows us the freedom to assemble together…but because MANY (not all) in the so called “house church” movement are nothing more that arrogant, judgmental, spoiled church kids who want nothing more than a holy huddle where wounds can be licked, “deep” teaching can be learned and the Great Commission of Jesus Christ Himself can be completely ignored!!!
To compare our situation here in America to the one in China is one of the most ignorant comparisons a person could make. And if you are doing that…please beg God to forgive you of your stupidity and remember that Jesus called us to reach the world…not to merely assemble and discuss theological fads!
WOW–that felt great! I think I’m all better now!!!

Dang! Straightforward, honest and to the point. The stuff I like to read and hear. Don’t try to make me feel good, cut me down with the truth.
Thanks to Clayton for the head’s up on his hot link post.
