Easum on the future of the church

I asked Bill Easum a question about some of the church issues we've been discussing recently. I asked him to gaze into the future and predict how things might change. Here's his response:

Darryl, I think the mega movement will be replaced by the church planting and multiple site congregations and that the house church will flourish. I think the dislike of the institutional church will continue and the only way to overcome that is by developing real churches that love one another and are vibrant instead of what we mostly have today. As the church is today, it does not deserve to survive.

Wow - When this guy talks I pay attention. Thanks Darryl - linking to it.

I have to agree with Easum, especially that last sentence. It's just absurd what most churches are, cosy, clubby things that pay little real attention to Christ in their midst.
