“Instead of making a relationship with God about becoming aware of and engulfed in His love, we made it about how displeased God is with us, forcing us to earn His love.” Excellent post that words well how I’ve been reacting to the American Church as of late.

Currently reading a book about this very subject — Searching for Sunday by Rachel Held Evans. After leaving my church, it’s been a very refreshing read. Can’t attest to the entirety of the book, but the first two chapters have been profoundly healing.
