Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider
themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise.Interestingly
enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing,
there is little to no trend in the number of those who
express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People arent saying they dont believe
in God. Theyre saying they dont believe in religion. They are not
rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.This begs the question,
Why are we losing our religion?Some may be losing their religion, but
I challenge the notion that faith in general is waning.I believe, instead,
the trend of people who dont identify as part of an organized
religion speaks to an increasing wariness of labels in our culture. Those
labels carry baggage for many who might have been hurt by the
Church or let down by religion.You see, religion alone can only take
a person so far. Religion can make us nice, but only Christ
can make us new. Religion focuses on outward behavior. Relationship is an
inward transformation. Religion focuses on what I do, while relationship
centers on what Jesus did. Religion is about me. Relationship is about
Jesus.In order to become a new person, we need Christ. Only through
an active ongoing relationship with Jesus can we become transformed and
overcome the labels that bind us.In fact, Ive struggled with what people
think of my label: pastor. For many, this label carries emoti
s
the global body of believers known as the Church. Only when we
push past those artificial constraints can we truly become who God created
us to be.For example, many people think churches are all about money.
The think that churches just want people to give to them but
that they rarely give back.Besides investing in our communities and helping
the poor, our church moved beyond the labels and status quo to
embrace generosity in a way that some have called crazy. Weve created
and given away millions of YouVersion Bible Apps every monthmore than 85
million to date. We give away our weekend teachings to hundreds of
churches every week, for free. Rather than selling products our church creates,
we give away as much as we can. More than 100,000 pastors
and leaders downloaded more than three million resources last year.Despite
the lack of religious affiliation the research shows, the interest in these
spiritual resources has never been greater. As a church, we dont see
these research trends as a threat, but as an opportunity for us
to do more.Craig Groeschel is the pastor of the nations second largest
church, LifeChurch.tv in Edmond, Okla., and the author of several books.
His latest is "Altar Ego: Becoming Who God Says You Are" (Zondervan,
February 2013).March 30, 2013: Pope Francis leads the Easter vigil service
in St. Peter's Basilica, at the Vatican.
