Scott Roley on the money

Scott Roley is the Senior Pastor at Christ Community Church in Franklin, TN. Pretty cool thoughts. The money quote for me?

"There is nothing wrong with us sharing the good news, but when it becomes something that is a manipulative tool to force someone to think like I think, then I don't think that's Christianity."

Many "church folks" I think would (sadly) disagree with this statement at first blush. But this simply reveals our misconception that Christianity is merely a slight adjustment of a persons moral values. Christianity is not moral philosophy or behavioral-ism.

Good stuff for us to wrestle with.
