Do you?

Do you have a church-centric view of the kingdom?

You do if you think that church is a destination. In America we view the church as a destination which in the end messes up our view of the kingdom. The mission has become the destination.

Here's the real question: If the church is not a destination then what are we really supposed to be doing?

You keep using the word 'church' in different ways and it is hard to keep up with which one you are using when I am not familiar with your jargon such as 'church-centric', 'church as a destination', 'the kingdom'(kingdom of God?) or 'on Mission'.

It seems that you are only talking to people who understand your jargon and most likely already agree with you.

You wonder what you are supposed to be doing.

Here is another question: What is God supposed to be doing? What does He get out of watching the same old mistakes, same old evil repeated generation after generation?

Enough already, God. If you want Jesus to come back and fix it, then why the delay?

What kind of evil game is God playing? People only dimly aware or not aware of their eternal destiny. Until judgement day, when in a rude shock they are sent to Hell.

If free will is so destructive, I'd rather give it up God, and not spend an eternity in Hell.

Church is the Body of Christ and is not a place or destination.

David, God is moving across America in Holy Spirit power and a new wineskin is being created to hold the new wine. I love it.

Tell me what you think of when you think of church. This will help some, I think.
