shocking thought


my wife kris and i were hanging out with some friends a while back just talking about stuff and solving the world's problems - you know what i mean. all of a sudden one of the folks came out with a statement that caught me way off guard - and frankly, kind of shocked me. he said that most churches were nothing more than "sunday day cares". now, if that wasn't shocking enough, he went on to say that that is what so many people are really looking for. is that really true? is that what the church has become? is that what people really want in a church? more importantly, is that what Jesus wants? the Bible seems to indicate that that is not what Jesus wants. it seems to indicate that the church should be a "dynamic revolutionary movement without walls". one more question. does that expectation have anything to do with why only 15% of today's younger generation is expected to be evangelical Christian? something to think about.
