Time to Re-think...

I'm really digging Rob Bell's Book Velvet Elvis. Read what he writes, this is crucial to the church today.

"...the most powerful things happen when the church surrenders it's desire to convert people and convince them to join. It is when the church gives away in radical acts of service and compassion, expecting nothing in return, that the way of Jesus is most vividly put on display. To do this, the church must stop thinking about everybody in categories of in or out, saved or not, believer or unbeliever. besides the fact that these terms are offensive...they work against Jesus' teachings about how we are to treat each other."

Wow, I must say, I agree...
