So on social media tonight a friend asked, “Our church doesn’t do VBS, anyone know of any near them?”
An innocent question to be sure. Then I realized how many different times I’ve heard the phrase, “Our church doesn’t do _______!” In the last several weeks.
Heres an incomplete list:“Our church doesn’t do Sunday Nights…”
“Our church doesn’t do VBS…”
“Our church doesn’t do ‘bring your own Bible.'”
“Our church doesn’t do hymns”
“Our church doesn’t do the ‘problem passages’ in scripture that just cause people to argue.'”“Our church doesn’t do Genesis…”
“Our church doesn’t do sex related passages because we try to keep it family friendly, positive, and upbeat (also non-judgy.)”
“Our church doesn’t do ‘Hell.'”
“Our church doesn’t do ‘repent’ we prefer the more positive ‘follow.'”
“Our church doesn’t do ‘Thus sayeth the Lord.’ Because no one likes to be told what to do.”“Our church doesn’t do ‘Gettys’ bc they write hymns.”
“Our church doesn’t do ‘congregational’ singing, because it’s all about making everyone feel welcome…”
“Our church doesn’t do tithing… or offerings.”
“Our church doesn’t do fire and brimstone… it’s time to get right… I plead with you to make a decision for Him (judgy/follow/welcome thing again.)”
Sigh…I guess some church doesn’t really DO church…
Am I Wrong?
