Do you have a nagging feeling that something's missing from your church experience?
You're not alone. And it's time to discover a better way.
Church-reform advocate and Bible scholar Peter DeHaan, PhD is a strong proponent of meaningful Christian community. In Jesus's Broken Church he uses Scripture to guide us into right practices and away from the off-track customs that most every church adheres to.
The problem is that today's church follows an Old Testament model. We go to a building where we have professional clergy serve as our liaison between us and God. Then we pay for the whole thing with our tithes and offerings-just like Moses instructed.
But Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament. Through him we are the church, we are living stones. We don't need to go to a building. As the church, we take it with us wherever we go. And we don't need paid clergy either. Each of us serves as priests to one another. Or at least we should.
In Jesus's Broken Church, you'll discover:
- How Jesus moves us from an Old Testament understanding to New Testament enlightenment
- The early church's approach to their meetings, which we neglect to follow today
- Essential New Testament practices that are more important than song and sermon
- Biblical ideas to inform the activities of our spiritual communities
- Seven religious concepts that require reformation
If you happen to like how your church functions, then don't buy this book. It will only make you mad. But if you sometimes leave your Sunday service feeling let down, that something is lacking and there must be more, then this book can guide you into a new direction.
