Outsourcing God - book excerpt #22


Here's a short excerpt from my upcoming book, Outsourcing God, addressing the complexities of consumerism and church.

Outsourcing God
(c) 2012 Ross Christopher.

...We make no distinction between faith and consumerism. And if we’re not careful, we wind up treating our leadership positions as if they were telemarketing firms or IT consultants.

But this doesn’t happen over night. It’s a culmination of culture, movement, laziness, vision, and pace, all working in tandem over time to affect every single aspect of how people see and follow God. Because God is inextricably linked to the way the Church behaves, it ineffectually becomes the same.

This is a conundrum of the Church.

Peace,
Ross
