Your lament echos the cry of millions of Christians who feel their is no alternative to the religious institution called church today. Sadly, Christianity has become a religion with its own set of political agendas, prejudices, unscriptural definitions and pet doctrines based on mistranslation of scripture. Church is now miss-defined as a gathering meeting at a “house of worship” where those of a particular religious culture are “led” in worship before listening to a lecture. Consequently, the reality of community centered around Christ, knit together by genuine relationships and expressing itself through unconditional love and acceptance has been all but lost.

The good news is that millions of believers are returning to the simplicity of relational church life outside the walls of religious institutions. I have met with such believers in the U.S. and in other parts of the world who are discovering the Father heart of God in the context of genuine community. Among such people the one priority is recognized as intimate, practical relationship with God and with one another, and leaves no room for petty distinctions necessary for the marketing needs of institutional Christianity.
