Ran across this quote from George Barna on Rick Warren's website. Thought-provoking insights based on research among those who attend our churches.
"Americans are willing to expend some energy in religious activities such as attending church and reading the Bible, and they are willing to throw some money in the offering basket. Because of such activities, they convince themselves that they are people of genuine faith. But when it comes time to truly establishing their priorities and making a tangible commitment to knowing and loving God, and to allowing him to change their character and lifestyle, most people stop short. We want to be 'spiritual' and we want to have God's favor, but we're not sure we want him taking control of our lives and messing with the image and outcomes we've worked so hard to produce." - George Barna

It's easy, even fashionable, to be a Christian. Most folks have a problem moving on to being a disciple.
