Incómodo - Brett McCracken

 

Es fácil soñar con la iglesia “perfecta”, una congregación que canta los himnos correctos con la música apropiada antes de que el pastor predique el sermón ideal en un auditorio lleno con personas justas que coinciden con usted en casi todo. Lo más probable es que su iglesia no tenga nada que ver con eso.

 

Este libro es un llamado a acoger los aspectos perturbadores de la comunidad cristiana ―trátese de creer verdades embarazosas, perseguir la santidad o amar a personas complicadas―, todo por el bien del evangelio, la gloria de Dios y nuestro gozo. 

 

The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian CommunityIt’s easy to dream about the “perfect” church―a church that sings just the right songs set to just the right music before the pastor preaches just the right sermon to a room filled with just the right mix of people who happen to agree with you on just about everything. Chances are your church doesn’t quite look like that. But what if instead of searching for a church that makes us comfortable, we learned to love our church, even when it’s challenging? What if some of the discomfort that we often experience is actually good for us?This book is a call to embrace the uncomfortable aspects of Christian community, whether that means believing difficult truths, pursuing difficult holiness, or loving difficult people―all for the sake of the gospel, God’s glory, and our joy.
