Examiner.com article: Moving beyond “Churchianity”
I’ve published another article for Examiner.com as the Raleigh Practical Christianity Examiner. The article is called “Moving beyond ‘Churchianity.’”
This article is a short (Examiner.com articles have to be short) review of Michael Spencer’s posthumously published Mere Churchianity.
Here is a brief excerpt:
The late Michael Spencer was known to many as the Internet Monk. On his blog, he published articles on the edge of evangelicalism calling Christians back to a spirituality that was shaped like Jesus Christ. Why? Because Spencer saw a disconnect between the Jesus of Scriptures and the modern day church.
His book Mere Churchianity: Finding Your Way Back to Jesus-Shaped Spirituality which was published posthumously continues that call.

Mere Churchianity was one of my favorite books from 2010. I posted a short review on it a few months back. Michael Spencer spoke my language better than any other author in the last several years. I loved that his passion was not merely to belittle the common church systems but rather to highlight the supremacy of Jesus which casts a large shadow over those same systems. When Jesus is exalted, everything else pales in comparison and takes its rightful place at his feet. I Highly recommend the book.
Craig,
Yes, Mere Churchianity was one of my favorite reads of 2010 also.

I am reading it now. FYI, I just got accepted by Examiner as well and listed you as my reference so you should see a little taste of the action in your paypal account.
Arthur,
Thanks for letting me know. Apparently Examiner has an issue related to notifying people about referrals.
