Two quotations which encapsulate my thinking.
Many Christians fail to grasp the basic point. To follow Jesus. Unfortunately, many Christians love the Bible more than Jesus. Theys say things like 'a biblical worldview' and 'we are a bible-believing church' and 'we believe in the Bible'. But in reality, they should be having a Christ-like worldview where they 'act like Jesus' and 'believe in the words and actions of Jesus'.
Stephen Mattson
We worshipped Jesus instead of following him on the same path. We made Jesus into a mere religion instead of a journey towards union with God and everything else. This shift made us into a religion of 'belonging and believing' instead of a religion of transformation.
Richard Rohr
