QUOTES FROM THE CHAPTER, "LET'S BE REAL" Do we have any
understanding of the un-churched culture in which we live and the
way these people view the church? Do we spend intentional time
cultivating relationships with non-Christian people, or is our
attitude one of "they know where we are, and they'll come if they
want to?" If the church is truly to experience a revival, we must
seek to understand the needs and thinking of "unchurched Harry and
Mary." We need to stop playing our pious, religious games and
realize that the church is to be a haven for broken, hurting people
who feel they don't have their lives all together. And if we look
at the teachings of Jesus, He consistently taught that it was those
people who felt "they had it all together" who in fact were
farthest from God In no way am I diminishing the importance of
sound doctrine, but I have often laughingly said that "we will be
surprised when we get to Heaven at some of the people living in our
neighborhood " We must acknowledge our own struggles with complex
issues and, at times, admit that we don't have God in a neat box
and therefore don't have all the answers. Although sound theology
is important, my Bible says first and foremost that they will know
we are Christians by our love Christ said that He had come, not to
"comfort the already comfortable," but to "preach good news to the
poor...to proclaim recovery of sight to the blind...to release the
oppressed...and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Is that
our message as well? If not, then it's time for us to be real
