Tammy’s Reviews > Pagan Christianity?: Exploring the Roots of Our Church Practices > Status Update

“Remove the sermon and you have eliminated the most important source of spiritual nourishment for countless numbers of believers… Yet the stunning reality is that today’s sermon has no root in scripture rather, it was borrowed from pagan culture, nursed and adopted into the Christian Faith… The sermon actually distracts from the very purpose for which God designed the church gathering.“

“Every Sunday you attend the service to be bandaged & recharged, like all other wounded soldiers. Far too often, however,the bandaging & the recharging never takes place. . . The New Testament never links sitting through in an ossified ritual that we mislabeled ’church’ as having anything to do with spiritual transformation. We grow by functioning, not by passively, watching & listening.“
