It is a shame but this is the experience of a lot of people who ask questions in Christian settings.

“Technology is the handmaiden of an anthropocentric church”

“What we have lost in the ascendancy of technique is the openness to mystery and the understanding of God’s own inscrutable work in our midst”

I am sitting in class right now and the professor just offered a thought he attributed to Leonard Sweet-
“There is only one way to God but there are many ways to Jesus.”
If that is true (which I think it is), then why do most Christian ministries tend to normalize encounters with Jesus? Why do churches seek to standardize access to Jesus through clearly defined methodologies and patterns?
I think most Christians, especially Church leaders, would say instead that “There is only one way to God which is through Jesus, and if you want to meet Jesus, come to church, accept him as your savior, read your Bible, join a small group…” and you get the idea.

The house of God is not the Church but the world. The Church is the servant, and the first characteristic of a servant is that he lives in someone else’s house, not his own.
