The church gets in trouble whenever it thinks it is in the church business rather than the kingdom business....If the church has one great need, it is this: to be set free for the kingdom of God, to be liberated from itself as it has become in order to be itself as God intends. - Howard Snyder, Liberating the Church, quoted by Rob Fairbanks

People sure seem to be saying this stuff a lot so there must be some heavy truth in it all. I must have been in churches really committed to the kingdom - cause I never felt like I have been in a place where it was all church business... Or, I could be really ignorant of my own limitations and our own church problems.
