A Response to Back To Church

Back To Church has been available since September 15th. It only took one day to see the entire reason for this book played out over social media.

The day after the book launched with the title Back To Church the
keyboard warriors started responding according to what they thought the book
would be about.

People who have left the church left messages like “Why?” and
encouragements to consider pantheism and atheism. And those who are in the
church responded with messages to remind the people who disagreed with
Christianity that they “will be judged.”

One warrior must have actually read the back cover of the book because he
made the statement that “exvangelicals” and those who are
“deconstructing” are doing so because of the Church’s position on
many issues. Maybe if he would have read the book he would have a better idea
of what it says.

But the one heartbreak, and the one that we need to listen to, is the one
that said, “You might try acting like Christians for a change.”

And this is where we pause. The church is being called into account by the
people who are walking away. Are we going to listen? Or will we decide to
simply preach to the choir until there is no one left?

It’s time to question our habits. It’s time to come back to being the Church.
