foundational thoughts...

Foundational thoughts about Church...

#1: Jesus Christ is the head of the Church...not a pastor or a board.

#2: Every believer is a "priest"...not just those who are ordained.

#3: We are the Church...we don't go to church.

#4: The Gospel is Good News...not good advice.

#5: The Bible is a Story...not a manual for living.

 

I know many of these need explanation, etc. I don't mean to imply that we shouldn't gather with other believers as the Church or that the Bible is a fairy tale or that we shouldn't have pastors, etc.

I know what my thinking is behind each of these "foundational thoughts", but have chosen not to explain my meaning in hopes that you will ponder it and offer different ways of thinking. If you want to dialogue about it, I'd love to hear from you.

i love your perspective - the "story" of Scripture is a story we are invited to be a part of, not apart from. love you my brother.
