Francis Chan on the American Church

The--what many would call--house church with which I meet on Thursday evenings is devoting some of its time many of the times it gathers to the reading of Francis Chan's book, Crazy Love.

Yesterday I came across this comment on page 68 of the earlier edition:

...the American church is a difficult place to fit in if you want to live out New Testament Christianity...Taking the word of Christ seriously and literally is rarely considered.  That's for the "radicals" who are "unbalanced" and who go "overboard."  Most of us want a balanced life that we control, that is safe, and that does not involve suffering.

Right on, Francis.  Continue to live it and preach it, brother!
