Killer Church walks readers through a Biblical study of life and death at the altar of God, and attempts to answer the question: are our churches making us sick?
The Church has become peripheral to many Christians today, but throughout the New Testament it remains the epicenter of worship. Where have we gone wrong? And how can we recover the spiritual vitality of the Acts Church? Nathan suggests a way forward both theologically and pastorally in the chapters in this book.
Poked me in the best ways. Challenging norms I didn’t even realize I was walking in. Some chapters had me bristling in uncomfortable defiance, only to realize it was because I was being called out in a blunt but honest way (and who likes being criticized when it’s glaringly true?).
The church needs this book. A call back to her original purpose, a calling out of areas we’ve strayed and the thoughts that propelled us there. A call back to original roots and design.
“‘Just put the ark on the cart, it’s fine’ And I believe the Holy Spirit- through Scripture- is saying ‘No more ox carts’ We must return to what the Lord has said about the church- about her purpose. We have to remind the people they are priests, not consumers. Knowing the fear of the Lord, we must persuade our people to worship God in His way: in spirit and truth”- 175
