WARNING: Reading this blog may cause you to rethink some of the beliefs and assumptions you have about what it means to be a follower of Jesus. You may even question some of the things you were taught by parents, teachers, and pastors. It’s possible that you may begin to look at the Bible in a different way than ever before. You may even come to believe that God’s grace is not just for a “home in heaven”, but is for all of life, and that the Kingdom is here and now as well as to come in the future. You may realize that you are free to follow Jesus as he leads you, not as an institution directs. You could possibly become discontented with “church” as you’ve known it, and you may wish for authentic community and desire to advance the Kingdom outside of the four walls of a building, seeing that we don’t go to church, we are the church. This may cause a dislocation in relationships as friends have a hard time dealing with your strange new ideas. You may even lose friends and learn what Jesus meant when he said he came to divide. You may experience any of this by reading this blog.
