If the church were Christian :rediscovering the values of Jesus /Philip Gulley.
Description
If the church were Christian, Jesus would be a model for living rather than an object of worship -- If the church were Christian, affirming our potential would be more important than condemning our brokenness -- If the church were Christian, reconciliation would be valued over judgment -- If the church were Christian, gracious behavior would be more important than right belief -- If the church were Christian, inviting questions would be valued more than supplying answers -- If the church were Christian, encouraging personal exploration would be more important than communal uniformity -- If the church were Christian, meeting needs would be more important than maintaining institutions -- If the church were Christian, peace would be more important than power -- If the church were Christian, it would care more about love and less about sex -- If the church were Christian, this life would be more important than the afterlife.
