It Takes All Kinds of Churches - LifeChurch.tv : swerve. - Craig Groeschel

When I was a kid, my church friends were critical of other churches. The “other” churches were too weird, too charismatic, too legalistic, too boring, or too stuffy.

Sadly today, many Christians are convinced their style of church is the only and best way.

It takes all kinds of Christian churches to reach all kinds of people.

Surely God can work through Bible Churches, Charismatic Churches, Traditional Churches, and Seeker Churches. He can use Baptist Christians, Methodist Christians, Episcopal Christians, and Spirit-filled tongue talking Holy Ghost rollin’ Christians.

No matter how much you enjoy your expression of worship, your church won’t reach the world alone.

It is exciting that instead of criticizing the differences, many are embracing the similarities and truly making a difference for Christ.

Churches that are just different are great.. the problem is when the difference is whether those churches truly reflect God. Sometimes I wonder if many of our churches don't bear remarkable similarities to the "church" of Jesus day... which he wasn't too happy about. What would Jesus say if he walked into our church today?
