More Jesus....Less Crap

Have you seen the signs put up by The Iron City Church, a new church plant in Pittsburgh, started by a friend, Tommy Duke.  The main message is MORE JESUS...LESS CRAP!  I have haven't seen one myself, but when Tommy was telling us about them at our pastor's group yesterday, I thought it was great.  Tommy says he's received a few responses on his answering maching from "Christians" who have used more colorful language than his, to condemn the signs for their lack of taste, sensitivity,etc...

I totally understand where Tommy's going, though.  There IS a lot of crap in churches that has nothing to do with Jesus.  When we started New Life six plus years ago, we wanted the very same thing in our life together.  After all, our mission is sharing the new life of JESUS CHRIST with the world--one person at a time.  People need Jesus and the salvation He purchased with His blood on the cross.  Everything else is really just..........EXTRA STUFF.  It may not all be crap, but any church that's offering MORE JESUS and less crap has got it's theology on straight, and will undoubtedly reach a lot of people that denominational and traditional churches will never reach.  Way to go, Tommy!  More JESUS!
