I was driving on a highway access road in Macon, GA last weekend, and I counted ten different churches all in a row. I mean, I love God but do we need ALL of these churches? Christ said, “Whenever two or more are gathered in my name...I shall be with them.” He said nothing about organized religion. We build the Crystal Cathedral and a host of TV camera strewn mega churches, yet Christ says simply, “There are many mansions in my Father's house.”

Maybe we got it all wrong. Maybe the Catholic Church took us all in the wrong direction. Maybe it was all meant to be a small personal experience shared on an intimate level. Didn't we start with house churches, supper tables and upstairs rooms? How did we get here? What if we went back? What if we were never supposed to be here in the first place? And who's benefiting? I guess if we follow the money as people say, we might find the answer (we would follow the collection plate up the aisle right to that charismatic figure at the front of the church...no not the statue on the cross... the guy with the baccalaureate rob and the white, white smile...in front of the cross).

It's just something to think about.
