For a lot of people, their experiences going to church aren’t objectionable. They are dull. Church is all about a safe and predictable routine. Nothing that is said or done appears to have any connection to their daily lives. It’s about religion.
That kind of church makes it seem like God is safe, predictable, and has no connection to our daily lives. That’s dangerous because God is a relationship to be enjoyed, not a religion to be endured. October 21, 2018

Our pasts tend to follow us around. That’s why a lot of people avoid church. They feel judged, alienated, or slighted because of some mess in their pasts. Some people even feel like their pasts disqualify them from having a relationship with God. That’s ironic because the man who wrote most of the New Testament had quite a messy past. He was the most unlikely candidate for following Jesus, yet he became one of Jesus’ most famous followers. If there’s hope for him, there’s hope for all of us. October 14, 2018
