15 Good Reasons Not to Go to Church15 Good Reasons Not to Go to Church and One Great Reason You Should
By Michael J. Insalaco (VMI Publishers, 2009)

“If God does want to touch your life through a church family—and I guarantee you He does—there is one sure-fire way to not receive that touch: Simply stay away from church, the imperfect people there and the teaching of the Bible. You can keep on trying all the other things you’ve been trying—all to no avail. God will keep on grieving like the loving father He is—a father who desires to help a suffering child, even the one who isn’t interested in His help.” –Michael J. Insalaco, from the book

Ed Stetzer: Coming Back

We have to take a step back as we teach God’s Word, building upon the grand narrative of redemption to show how every issue dealt with in the story of God is centered in Christ.

Tanita Maddox: Showing Up for Gen Z

There are just so many things that are compelling about the triune God and the way that triune God has enacted redemption for us and continues to sanctify us after we follow him. We just have to pull the contextualization out for our young people so they can see it on their terms.

Created for Relationships

There’s something about community—the relationships, the sense of belonging, the support and encouragement, the sympathy and understanding—that deepens our lives and anchors our souls.
