From the Pastor’s Recent Reading:
…It’s important to remember that when you have two people at Starbucks who are talking about Jesus, that’s nice and that may be a group of Christians, but a church has order, offices, and certain worship elements.
…danger with churchless Christianity is that in some instances, it might not be Christianity anymore. Churchless Christianity sometimes seems to be anti-pastor, anti-sermon, anti-doctrinal boundaries, [having only] the mantra, ‘I want Jesus, not religion..’
—from “Why Churchless Christianity Doesn’t Work”, an interview with Kevin DeYoung in Christianity Today magazine
