Chew on this . . .

This is from ReJesus: A Wild Messiah for a Missional Church, by Alan Hirsch and Michael Frost:
"To be sure, we do not like gatherings (speaking of church services), of strangers who never meet or know each other outside of Sundays, who sit passively while virtual strangers preach and lead singing, who put up with second rate pseudo-community under the guise of connection with each other, who live different lives from Monday to Saturday than they do on Sunday, whose sole expression of worship is pop-style praise and worship, who rarely laugh together, fight injustice together, eat together, pray together, raise each others Children together, serve the poor together, or share Jesus with those who have not been set free." Pg. 172-173
Just thought I'd share it. Not saying it's a description of my church or anything like that, just something worth chewing on.
