Upon This Rock

To kick off our series Things We Should All Stop Saying In Church I want to examine the often prayed and exclaimed phrase, "We don't want church as usual". Although this sentiment is often rooted in the sincere desire to encounter God in His nearness it actually does the opposite by setting God off at a distance from us in a way that eventually leads to weariness and disillusionment. I want to argue for a better way to talk about the presence of God in our midst and the ways in which the Spirit works in our lives for our own good, the good of our churches, and the good of our communities.
