Dear Church, We’re Breaking Up

I know this will probably come as a surprise to you, given your propensity to believe that you are God’s gift to the world. Heck, I even believed that myself for a while. You dressed up all nice for me and flashed me an irresistible smile when I first walked into the room. After the service, you invited me out for coffee and introduced me to all your friends. You made me feel like I belonged. Before too long, we were going steady. Every week we would catch up and spend hours together. We’d talk about life, love, and the universe. Actually — now that I think about it — you would talk, and I’d just listen. You loved me just sitting there and listening and taking on board everything you were saying. And, to be fair, you taught me plenty of valuable lessons. <a href="https://medium.com/backyard-theology/dear-church-were-breaking-up-b2fc1e197c45">Website</a>
