Tim Keller Quote

"Jesus' teaching consistently attracted the irreligious while offending the Bible-believing, religious people of His day.

However, in the main, our churches today do not have this effect.

The kind of outsiders Jesus attracted do not bother coming to our churches, even our most avant-garde ones.  We tend to draw buttoned-down, moralistic people.  The licentious and liberated or the broken and marginal avoid church.

That can only mean one thing.

If the preaching of our ministers and the practice of our parishioners do not have the same effect on people that Jesus had, then we must not be declaring the same message that Jesus did."

- Dr. Tim Keller

I totally agree my friend. The question is what message is being taught in the church, that those who don't always play by church rules (or irreligious) are hearing. I think that love is not always displayed to everyone. Love is conditional in our life for most of us in the church. How can it be fixed?
