Mind Battles, Part 2

Here is something refreshing.  This was in the bulletin of the Church that I interviewed with today:

Everybody - A New Series Beginning Today

Have you ever wondered how the church got to be such an insider-focused organization?  How did it go from a remarkable and unstoppable force in the first century to a watered-down social club today? Have you ever wanted to get involved but couldn't seem to figure out how or were told you weren't needed?  We'll explore all these questions and more in our three-part series Everybody, beginning today.

Imitate, Invest, Invite

Our purpose is to imitate Jesus Christ, Invest in the lives of others, and invite others to join us for our Sunday Gatherings. You'll notice that the first part of that statement puts emphasis on our own personal relationship with Jesus and not a critical analysis of your relationship with him. We believe that the more focused we are on our own relationship with Christ, the less willing we are to point out the problems of others.  Only Jesus --not church, a preacher, or anything else-- is the solution to the problems we all face every day.
