Questions
- Why don’t people go to church?
- Can a Christian be a Christian and not go to church?
- Is it still church if people struggle and don’t always agree?
- What makes a church a church?
- Is the church about here and now or there and later?
Church is messy because it is filled with people. These people have ideas, opinions and preferences about how things should and shouldn’t be. Sometimes people don’t get their way and they leave a church body. They don’t have fellowship with other Christians and are at risk of dying spiritually.
As I struggle with some friends about how a new church would look in our community, we are asking some of these questions. People leave, people fight, people disagree. Is it still church? because if it is, we need to change our concept of what it means to be the Church.
