@Andy35o Today's greeting time assumes a past reality of church as a place of real community where you were known & belonged. It's impossible today when you're in church with 500+ of your “closest friends.” It’s a well-intentioned effort in a context not conducive to authentic fellowship.

@petescazzero Amen! Our post-modern, post-Christian culture sends us back to the environment that faced the early church of the first three centuries. Now, let's get to work being the church!

In light of all that Jesus did to pull you out of the HOV lane to eternal hell, it is only right and fitting that your total existence should be offered as a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable.

Jesus died on Good Friday, but rose again on Easter Sunday, so that you and I can live with hope on Monday—and every other day of the week, month after month, year after year, throughout the rest of life and for all eternity.

Jesus himself said that the defining mark of his followers would be that they have a full-throttled love for 1) God, 2) one another, and 3) a hurting world. And guess what? Two out of three won’t cut it!
