What does the average person think about Christ?Not much…because they can’t get past Christianity!

• They can’t get past the issues.

• They can’t get past the rules.

• and worst of all they can’t get past Christians!

Some how Christianity has gotten to be about passing the plate or building a program or

fighting __________(name that issue). All of which has its place.

But None of which is Christ!

We have built houses on the sand and defended them while Christ stands in the rain. And the people who would come to Him can’t see Him or be warmed from the cold and relentless rage of this world.

Every little while, one of these houses falls and everyone is dismayed for it seems like the kingdom is crashing down. But fear not for the Kingdom of Christ will out last anything we build on our own.
