Making It “Their” Church
I totally didn’t write this, but I wanted to. Nah, here’s Craig Groeschel. He describes an experience I have all the time when I encounter Cornerstone people!
When I meet people from our church, they often tell me more with their words than they realize.
They almost always say one of two things:
-
- “I go to your church.”
- “I love our church.”
When they say, “I go to your church,” I know this person is not likely very engaged in the life of the church. In most cases, they aren’t serving, participating, or giving. They are simply attending a church that is not yet “theirs.”
When they say, “I love our church,” they are usually very involved. The church doesn’t belong to someone else. It is “their” church.
I’m asking God to empower me to move people from “going to church” to “being the church.” When they stop going and start being, the church goes from yours to mine.
