Mark Dever
writes that all of the statistics point to an age of “commitment-phobia” - a
fear that in promising to do something good we will miss something even
better. I know that there has been a lot of rejection of belonging to a
church family. I have heard people say, “I love God, but I hate organized
religion.” Of course, the opposite of organized religion is what?
Disorganized religion? Chaotic religion? Or maybe we just recoil
from the idea that we would be asked to make a commitment to Christ through
Christ’s new creation - His church. What if the greatest thing you could
do is dive into the ministry and community of a church set on reaching out to
the world with the transforming message of Christ? There are a lot of
good things out there, but I don’t think we have to be afraid that something
better than being an active participant in the Kingdom of God is going to be
coming along.
