This last weekend I was traveling to KALEO. An event for young people who have answered the call to ministry. Stacey, Nic, Tyler and I drove up there on thursday for the conference. During the drive up, we saw ate at KFC, and they had a sign that says "Unthink what you thought about KFC". I immediately kicked in my "pastor" brainstorm and realized that I can use this as a sermon illustration.
We as a church have seemed to go off track in my eyes. Every time I approach a friend, I always have to battle there presuppositions about "church". Unfortunately, christians have marred the image of the Church. It is no longer a place of freedom, but legalism. It is no longer compassionate, but condemning. When I look at these peoples views, I can't but agree with them. We seem to not know what church should be... We need to start "UNthinking Church!"
Let's not think about how a church from 50 years ago did it. But from 2000 years ago. We need to get back to the New Testament church! It is so imperative! People were so welcoming back then, but at the same time stood for the Word more than any of us have in these days.
