How Deep are we?

David Olson in trying to help the church recover from the crisis we are in makes the following comment. "Why do so many seekers report that they are attracted to Jesus but not to the church? Perhaps the problem is that the church has done a splendid job of concealing the powerful life-giving Jesus. We domesticate him; we make him our servants; we assume that people have more knowledge about him than they do. We are producing Christians who lack the vitality and depth that should mark Christ-followers. To quote John Perkins again, "We have over-evangelized the world too lightly. We have allowed a narrow and limited understanding of Jesus to marginalize and reduce the revolutionary nature of his message and mission."
