I was talking to a friend on Friday about the institution of church. This person is older than me, smarter than me, and also works at a church--so his insights can be particularly helpful at times. But when he dropped these few sentences, it blew me away:


“That’s the problem with the institution of church sometimes: we lose the imagination of God. People get zombie-fied. They go on auto-pilot. And I don’t want to be a part of that. And I don’t want my kids to see me be a part of that.”


There's a lot of things I could say to go along with that, but I think anything else who ruin the simple beauty of that quote.
