The church is changing. The truth of Jesus is being disentangled from the behavior-focused, non-affirming religion that often just uses Jesus as a mascot.And this is a major threat to the box-church that tries to stay sealed up tight – even when everyone on the outside of the box can see how different they are from the Jesus they claim to follow.The truth of God is winning out over false interpretations and our understanding of what Christianity really should be is rapidly morphing into new directions.Many parts of the church embrace the LGBTQ community, many parts of the church embrace women pastors, many parts of the church embrace racial equality and social justice. Many parts of the church are focusing on love and helping those in need. Much has been written and preached about this, including the three-part Huffington Post article (part 1, part 2, part 3).
