I appreciated what you shared, because I've been feeling very exhausted lately by church. I feel confused and out of place lately and sometimes guilty because I love Jesus and sometimes (wrongly) feel that I must love church services and superficial Christian culture along with him. It wears you down. Do you have any tangible ideas about how normal people of faith could go about changing a numb, lackadaisical Christian consumer culture? I mean, how do we live something out in a contagious manner without being overwhelmed by fatigue? wordpress recommended your post to me on one of my own posts, Love Evangelism & Church Growth.

I wish I were as eloquent as you but you've spoken my heart. Offensive to some and even more so "backsliding" to others I love God with all my heart and desire nothing more in this world than him, but have not been to church for just over the past year. This came after the point of feeling completely empty and not getting why my relationship with God the quality of my "christianity" be summed up between those four walls. I was desperate to know God as applicable to life more than just preocedures. There's soo much I could say on this but just found it interesting hearing what I've been feeling coming from somewhere else across the world (God I love the internet :)). Again, thanks for sharing.
