the Reveal video

Jeff, I found that Reveal video interesting. And frightening. And then funny.

Interesting in looking at the different people that we serve in our churches. Frightening in that the one group of people least likely to be enjoying our churches, is the group that identifies themselves as closest to Jesus. It took me awhile to digest that.

And then funny. Funny because I can remember various people who really did see themselves as far too close to Jesus as to be weighed down with something as messy, hard, and uncomfortable as church can be sometimes. I'm ashamed to admit that I have had that sorry attitude myself at times.

I'm just glad Jesus wasn't like that.

Thanks for the heads up on the Reveal research. I heard Dan McNaughten talk about it recently but never checked it out. The research and spirit in which it is being presented is phenomenal. I've ordered the book and anxiously await its arrival.
