Death by Church
Posted by Chris on Wednesday, December 17th, 2008
I downloaded a preview chapter of a book by my favorite author, Mike Erre. The book was just released and I have it ordered already. It is called Death by Church. While I am trying to grasp the full context of the book as I read more. As you might have guessed the book deals a good bit about ‘The Church’. The current state of the church, how we got here, and where we are going. Mike quotes a gentleman who made this statement:
It amazes me to consider how much effort and how many resources (time, money and people) are expended for a single hour once a week. We have made church nothing more than a religious show that takes place on Sunday, and after it’s done we all go home, until church starts again next week, same time, same place. Is this what the bride of Christ is?
- Neil Cole
How often I look at church as this. Man this book has been rockin’ my perspective on things. Mike has had a huge impact in my life reading his books. Most likely he doesn’t know this. But I’d encourage you to take a look.

I have not had a chance to read that first chapter you sent me yet but I hope I get a chance. Maybe this weekend while I am interviewing down in South MO.
