I just realized that it’s been a long while since I’ve posted.
So sorry.
Some times I wonder if anyone is reading this thing. If you are you are a very silent crowd. Maybe you’re just good at listening. Anyway, in regards to that actually I was responding to a couple of comments that made me realize I hadn’t posted for a while.
Well I’m still reading Company of the Committed. The book is the size of a Cliff’s Notes booklet but I’m a pretty sporadic reader.
A couple more quotes:
“The radical difference between the Church and most human organizations is so important that unless it is truly understood our chance for renewal of vitality is slight indeed. Though it is sad that people fail to respond to public worship wit the enthusiasm and devotion which they evince at basketball games, the greater sadness lies in the fact that supposed Church members do not even understand the difference between the two kinds of relationship.”
“The crucial question today is not whether we must have a fellowship, for on that point we are reasonably clear; the crucial question concerns the character of the fellowship. The more we think about it the more we realize that it must be a fellowship of the committed. This is because mere belief is never enough.”
