The Purpose Driven Unchurched

by Van Robison

Most ex-church goers are purpose driven unchurched. They were driven out of various churches because of spiritual abuse, or because they came to the conclusion that something about church was missing. In seeking answers and truth, many followers of Jesus Christ have found that--hey--Jesus Christ does not live in a box called "church." In fact seekers of Jesus Christ have found that they can have a relationship with Christ outside of church walls and barriers. It has dawned upon many that the real Shepherd and only Head of the Spiritual Body is Jesus Christ and not pastors or churches. Countless followers of Christ have come to the conclusion that serving God is not something done as dictated by denominations and church organizations. Many are using their talents to glorify Jesus Christ outside of Sunday and no longer "go to church".

Hearing the voice of Jesus Christ, the real Shepherd, is what Jesus said His sheep do. He also said His sheep follow Him. How have millions of people been sidetracked into believing that brand name churches are the way and the truth? Do you really think your super brand name church is the light of the world? If you do--think twice, because Jesus Christ never mentioned your brand in any of His teachings in the four Gospels. You won't find the Baptist Church mentioned by Jesus Christ, nor will you find First Assembly of God Church mentioned either. For that matter, you won't find that Jesus Christ promoted churches at all, but rather He promoted the Father and Himself. Want solid proof of this? Check out Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. While you're at it, you might even do a little research and learn that the word "church" is not a word ever spoken by Christ or anywhere in the original languages of the Bible. It is a spurious term inserted by the "translators" of the English language Bibles.
