(“He [Jesus] is the head of his body, the church.”
Colossian 1:18a)
A friend of mine
recently tagged me in a Facebook post called “Why I Hate Religion, but Love
Jesus.” If I had the space I would quote the entire spoken word recording for
you. Suffice it to say, there are more and more people who are discouraged with
church, who may even have been harmed by religion, but still deeply love Jesus.
I am not talking about the type who simply add Jesus to a long list of happy philosophers,
hand picked and place on a shelf along with other favorites of literature,
movies and music. The people I hope read this are those who truly do love Jesus
Himself, but are very weary of an institution called “The Church” which seems
to represent Him so poorly.
