CJ Penn's Online Writing Hangout

The reason I write: To promote Christian truth and help Jesus get His Christianity back.

Jesus isn’t the problem—the church is

by Leave a comment

In a survey of both Christians and non-Christians, the Barna Group discovered that:

  •  71% of survey respondents have a positive opinion of Jesus Christ
  •  57% have a positive opinion of Christianity
  •  47% have a positive opinion of churches in their community
  •  16% have a positive opinion of megachurches

(https://www.barna.com/research/year-in-review-2023/   See item #3).

As the Barna article stated, Jesus isn’t the problem—the church is.

First, my writing isn't about me. Don’t want the attention, don’t want to feed my ravenous ego (yep, I’m just a typical pride-plagued human). But I love writing - it gets me out of bed when it's way too dark, just so I can do some writing before heading off to work. I write because I’m passionate about God, Jesus, His Spirit, and His truth. And, I feel the Holy Spirit gets shortchanged in the world we call Christianity. The truth is sometimes lacking too.

Please share your thoughts... thanks.
