“What has gone wrong is… that over time Christianity became something to be practiced inside a building, instead of being a pulsating, life-transforming encounter with the living God that spills over and impacts the world.”
- Chinese minister Brother Yun (in his book Living Water)

That pretty much nails it.  That’s why we are starting Renaissance Church.

I get asked all the time, “Where is your church?”
Usually I say, “Well, if you mean a building, we don’t have one yet.”

The truth is, you don’t need a building to have a church.  There’s nothing wrong with buildings.  We hope to have one someday.  But Christianity is not about going to a building to observe a service.

Christianity, in Brother Yun’s words, should be a pulsating, life-transforming encounter with the living God.

And when it becomes that, you can’t contain it in a building of any size.  Rather, it spills over and impacts the world.

That’s when the church becomes the Church – the Body of Christ, the earthly representative of our Lord Jesus.

Do you want to make a difference in the world?  Start with your own relationship with God.  Be totally filled up with Him, and then take the overflow to your community.
