I feel I want to do a bit of a series on the church. However, there is some dangerous stuff in here, so you need to buckle your seat belt and take a chill pill. There is some provocative and subversive stuff in here. I am not sure where to start. Here are the three main questions we need to look at:
1, How did the apostles establish the early church and what was their attitude to it?
2, How does the church today fair in comparison and are there grounds to return to a biblical picture?
3, what should our personal individual response be?
Having started of with a scare story, and I mean it, I gave this study two and a half years ago, I lost friends over it and upset a few people! I wouldn't give the study in the same way now though. Two and a half years later I have been there, and got the t shirt, I feel qualified to share this now without losing friends!!
But for me it is now a liberating study. Possibly not for the manic church doer and lover of all things church. But for those who sit and wonder why church doesn't do it for them.
I say I don't know where to start, because I don't know whether to start with the third question, so we know why we are looking at this stuff, or being the tease that I am, leave it until last so people are wondering where I am going with it?!!
