The expression would change to “I can’t deny what the church does, but i don’t believe in their God.” At least then they’d address their rejection of God rather than use the church as a scapegoat” You’ve probably heard the expression “I believe in God, just not organized religion”I don’t think people would say that if the church truly lived like we are called to live. “We need to stop giving people excuses not to believe in God. It’s a great starting point for this chapter, but here’s the quote that’s really got me thinking. The title of this chapter is “stop praying” and if you didn’t know that this book would really challenge you to your core, that’s a good start! But before we get to the meat of this chapter i want to mention something from the preface that really hit home for me. In cased you missed last weeks intro, welcome to this new series that will be known as “Word for Word” for the time being, my goal in this series is to go through a book, one chapter at a time and find different ways that the Good Lord has blessed the words contained inside! We’ll be starting with “Crazy Love” By Francis Chan, so if you haven’t read it or you’d like to read along with me please pick it up! What can i say about this chapter? I had high expectations considering i am a fan of some of Francis Chans’ talks, but until now i’m yet to read any of his books, but i’m so glad i’ve started after this.
