i was reading an article yesterday about colour your world. there was a quote about how everything (in the context of the conference as well as the church) is geared towards making you feel good about yourself:
"Maddox says the church (Hillsong) also consistently plays down the negative side of the Christian faith that is so often prevalent in more traditional churches. 'They don't talk about sin' she says. 'They don't say anything that might make you feel bad. It's all about making people feel good"
now i'm not saying yay or nay about that comment in reference to hillsong, colour or the 'more traditional' churches. just quoting.
but i did enjoy going to church last night and one of the first things neil says is this isn't going to be a feel good message. this one isn't about warm fuzzies. and i appreciated that. not that it was doom and gloom and fire and brimstone, but we were talking about the lordship of Christ, and about taking that seriously in our (my) lives.
it seems so often much easier to say/live Jesus is Saviour, rather than Jesus is Lord.
