Church Marketing Sucks: Church: Why Bother?
Stumbled across this blog entry from a year ago. The insights are really Yancey's, not the blogger's, but thought provoking nonetheless. My favorite quote is this:
"The church, he said, is like manure. Pile it together and it stinks up the neighborhood; spread it out and it enriches the world."
Funny...yet oddly profound also. Man, it's a hard job reforming churchs and people - it's a natural, normal tendency to want to clump together in groups or teams or cliques or whatever where everyone acts and thinks the same way. But Jesus calls on us to make church more than just an exclusive club.
