If you follow me on twitter you probably saw me twitter that the reason most people don't want to step into the church, is because of the church... and I really, very strongly feel this way.
I got the chance to talk to someone today and it was pretty neat. The reason she hasn't been in church a lot recently is because of the church and her experience with the church... Which is VERY sad. If we would just love on people the way Jesus did we couldn't keep people away from "the church", meaning the body of Christ.

I can identify with the person you're talking about. I left Eagles Landing because of how some people in the church, including leaders, reacted to me at one point. I've gone to church my whole life, but that one time of being turned away by people I looked to for help and leadership turned me off to church in general. As much as David and I would love to attend church there, we feel hesitant to go.
I hate that you feel that way. Wes and I identify with that too, and unfortunately we've felt that mostly from the two churches we went to the most. It's sad when the people that are in the church can't love on people in the church or out of the church.
