Description

When it comes to the topic of “things Christians do” or “organized church,” it’s a bit of a free-for-all. You don’t have to be kind. You don’t have to be truthful. And you don’t have to take into consideration how making Christians/the church the butt of all your jokes affects the way the outside world looking in thinks about either/both (especially on social media).
Except we do. Scripture makes it very clear that 1. The Christian church is the bride of Christ (and that’s a big deal) and 2. We will be held accountable for “every careless word” we speak—Matt. 12:36 (and that’s a huge deal!).
Throw in Psalm 1, which urges us to avoid mockery and scoffing, and you’ve got a pretty compelling argument for treating this topic with the careful and honest handling it deserves. Does “the church” have problems? Yes. Will Christians fail us and do wrong things? Also, yes.
But that’s not where the story ends, and I want to approach this series with the goal of bringing our attitudes and thoughts about church under the Lordship of Jesus Christ—just like we do (or should do) everything else.
