Husband and I have been attending church again. We are on week three at a nondenominational Christian mission within walking distance of our house (which we close on in eight days!). We are attending so that we can be a part of a community of like-minded people near our home.
Husband was raised Christian, and believes the Bible is the literal word of God.
I was not, and I don't. I'm not anti-Christian, but I do not believe in the core tenants of the faith. Church attendance can be exhausting for me.
Here's some stuff that Christianity – specifically small church communities – really has going for it:
And, Christianity done correctly propagates through good works.
I spend a good portion of each sermon wondering how one could apply the strengths of Christianity to small, local, non-religious voluntary communities. Is it possible to build an organization on the foundation of liberty that has a fraction of the strength of a church built on faith?
