Myth: Churchless Christianity is healthy/normal

• The Question: I don’t have to go to church to be saved, right? And church is all messed up, so why go?

• The Problem: Everyone else is doing it. Not only are people leaving churches, but lots of books are being written from Christian authors about how it’s the thing to do.

• The Informing Text: Galatians 3:14 (among others)

• The Big Idea: No matter what the latest books may prescribe, it is absolutely necessary that Christians verbally tell people the Gospel and call people to faith and repentance in Jesus Christ. We can’t do that effectively (at all really) with no visible witness (Church). And the same goes for discipleship, only more so.
