If you're looking for a church that suits you, you can find it. Mega church, small church, conservative church, liberal church, traditional church, modern church; whatever you want it's out there.
The options are many. Take your pick.
We all know that some churches just seem to be more popular than others. What exactly the formula to make your church HUGE I don't know. I don't want to argue whether or not those large churches are wrong or right. I just want to pose one question:
What if Jesus pastored a modern-day church?
I wonder what that church would be like. How big would it be? Would Jesus be a popular minister? If we look in the Gospels, we will find Jesus wasn't exactly a popular person among the religious elite. How would he be accepted today among those who claim to be his followers?
How many websites would there be just dedicated to talking smack about Jesus and what he preaches? Jesus preached some very straightforward messages. Would people walk out of his church service offended? Would members of his church decide that they were not getting "fed" enough from their pastor?
What kind of people would we find in Jesus' church? If you recall Jesus was surrounded by the scum and lowly of his day: prostitutes, tax-collectors, and fishermen to name a few. He accepted them as they were, but none of them continued in their sin. Would the music be loud and rocky or quiet and subdued? What would be the "dress-code".
I am not all knowing and I cannot put some formula together that will prove what Jesus' church would be like in modern day. But I have some suspicions that it may be far from what many define church as today. What do you think?
True
