Another Crazy Love thought…

here’s another francis chan quote from “crazy love”:

i quickly found that the american church is a difficult place to fit in if you want to live out new testament christianity.  the goals of american christianity are often a nice marriage, children who don’t swear, and good church attendance.  taking the words of christ literally and seriously is rarely considered.

you know, this is a scary thought.  not so much that we rarely take the words of christ seriously (as disgusting as that is), but that the church is a difficult place to fit in if you do.

it scares me to think that i might be a leader in a church that makes it easier for someone to fit in who doesn’t take jesus seriously, than someone who actually does.
