Are you a Churchian?

Rick Warren writes in his book The Purpose Driven Church, “a church without a purpose and mission eventually becomes a museum piece of yesterday’s traditions.”

He’s right. The world is filled with far too many Churchians and far too few Christians. Churchians GO to church, evaluate health based on the NUMBER of programs, fixate on NON-ESSENTIALS, view the BUILDING-rather than the people-as the church, enjoy MEETINGS but show no interest in active response in the world, and celebrate dates, ATTENDANCE and offering totals over changed lives.

Christians on the other hand participate in the church community, evaluate health based on spiritual transformation, fixate on their biblical mission, see buildings as tools for ministry only, enjoy outreach and active response in the world and Christian community, and celebrate numbers only when they reflect changed lives and Kingdom building endeavours.

Are you a Churchian or a Christian?
