I'm Back, Part 3

I'm still sold on this whole Organic Church thing, and I am still pretty fervent about this being the right way to be doing Church.  The thing is, I look around and most of the people around me in the Organic Church movement aren't as ready to breathe fire as I am, aren't as ready to insist that everyone should be doing Church organically.  Lately, I've seen this most in the difference between my view of Christian Education and other people's views on Christian Ed.  While I'm at a place where I would advocate the total abandonment of Christian Education, the people I do Church with seem to have more positive attitudes towards Christian Ed, to one degree or another.

This really confuses me.  Organic Church being the outworking of Biblical Ecclesiology seems so obvious to me while doing Church in the other ways that it is being done in the US today seems so wrong to me.  Why aren't other people who see things the way I do as adamant about this as I am?

Maybe I'm missing something.  Maybe I should slow down.

One of my good friends and mentors recently told me that when you start attacking the Bride, it isn't long 'til you're fighting with the Bridegroom.  While I'm trying to attack the chains that bind her, is it possible that I've been overzealous and been attacking the Church and not just the forms that bind Her?  As I said in my first set of posts, I'm young, unwise, rash and full of energy.  Perhaps I should concentrate on being wise right now.  When I'm old and hopefully wiser, I can concentrate on making sure that I'm breathing enough fire.

Maybe I'm being too close-minded.  Maybe there are more ways to do things Biblically than I thought.  I'm going to try to keep that in mind as I blog here.  There will still be some challenging things in this blog, as what I blog about here will be about what I'm going through, which will be challenging.  I'm just going to try to make it so that the challenge is framed so it is at us, both you, the reader, and me, instead of being from me at you.  I'll talk about what is challenging me and hopefully you'll talk back to me about it too.
