Some Churches Not Getting It

No, I'm not going into some kind of religious tangent, but I have to address something that really irks me. Legalistic churches. Now this wouldn't even be an issue except they bug everyone with the cute little "Get to Know Jesus" pamphlets they mail out to everyone on your block.

Look. Most churches ultimate goal is butts in the seats. In modern times, you will not accomplish this with a "parking lot conversion" attempt. In fact, if you've done anything, you've ruined any chance that person might come to your church at all. Yet, certain legalistic circles do this - and more!

Among the "parking lot conversions", there are also certain circles where meat is a sin, along with the wearing of jewelry, certan haircuts and numerous other rules. People, legalism kills a church faster than anything. People feel suffocated, and crowded. Not to mention legalism goes against New Testamment readings which I won't go into right now.

Get over it. Step away from the box and learn another way, you're killing your own cause.
