Simply put

I was browsing through some friends blogs and read something that I have read multiple times but had one of those “light bulb” moments.  It is, in my opinion, the proper way to pursue Christianity.  We as followers tend to complicate everything in our faith and our walks with Christ.  This is a very serious problem within the church we have created.  We feel as though we need to build, do, out-perform, out-last, and create things within the church or other churches in order to grow closer to God.  Hm, interesting right?  Want to know a little secret?  Check out Ty Faulk’s banner on his wordpress.  It is simple. And simply put: “Keeping it simple by loving God and loving people.”  I have believed in this for years and now for some reason felt compelled to write a blog about the subject.  Jesus gave the church things they were supposed to do, yet we create others. And if you went to a church service or grew up going to a church you would think Jesus told us the format and what to do each Sunday.  But when it comes down to it, Jesus gave the church very few things to do.  But what I feel the greatest thing Jesus told us to do is to Love God with all of heart, soul, and mind and love your neighbor as yourself (Matthew 22:37-40).  The church has done a horrible job loving other people.  It has been about buildings, numbers, and money for generations.  What about the people Jesus tells about in Matthew 25?

Simply Put: “keeping it simple by loving God and loving people.”  The church has done it wrong for so long, just look at today’s church and our society.  We need to stop adding complexity to Christianity, when we simply need to love others!
