- You can't love God and hate the church. (But that doesn't mean you have to agree with everything that is going on in current Evangelical churches either).
- According to the Bible, it is not just your badness that falls short, it is your goodness too. (So just showing up for church doesn't give me any brownie points? What about all the pain I am going through! Has God heard my preacher?)
- We don't do good works to fall in love with God, we fall in love and then do good works. (Just like obeying the speed limit really doesn't make me love that cop sitting behind that sign.)

Good stuff from Colossians
I have started reading Tullian Tchividjian's book, "Jesus + Nothing = Everything." At the same time, I am listening to Matt Chandler preach through Colossians. Kind of a double whammy, since Tullian takes a lot of what he says from Colossians. Anyway, here are some thoughts/quotes from the first 3 sermons by Matt.

That is true if by "the church" he means the body of Christ. Jesus was not an advocate of religion (or religious leaders) and we should not be either.
Amen, and he does state that as well.
