A Thanksgiving Day thought: our desire for an authentic church experience

“To make our church experience more authentic we turn to excitement, technology, cool music, fads of our day rather than the messy life of Christ in the midst of strangers, the poor, the oppressed, the marginal, and unwanted. We settle for a full room with four walls and a good sound system and leave the homeless, the hurting, the unsaved, the hungry, and undeserving outside. We have not chosen wisely for our authentic church experience.”
