Carlos Whittaker describes himself as “an artist, pastor, thinker, experience architect, and Web 2.0 junkie.” After serving in local church ministry as Pastor of Worship and Creative Arts at Sandals Church in Riverside California and as Director of Service Programming at Buckhead Church (a campus of North Point Community Church), he signed with Integrity Music and launched a full-time career in the recording industry. Recently he blogged about what the life of faith is not and what it is:
It’s not about your church logo.
It’s not about your internet campus.
It’s not your catchy church name . . .
It is about JESUS.
So What?
Whittaker’s original list included sixteen “it’s not about” statements. What items would you place on a top ten list of things Christianity is not about? Which misdirected emphases have you noted in local congregations? in individual believers? in yourself?
