Q: You said at the beginning of the service that our purpose is not about choosing a religion, it is about God choosing us. Does that mean that people who are not Christians have simply not been chosen by God? Or did God choose us all by sending Jesus to die for us and people who aren’t Christians simply rejected that?
A: We choose our religion, and God offers himself.
Q: What’s the difference between “Playing Church” and Being the church?
A: Playing church is going through the motions. We put on our church face, and go to church, but it is so much more. It is taking on God’s attitude and going out into the world to follow his will and tell others about him. It’s about becoming a part of the church, not just letting the church be a part of you.
