I just got blown away by a quote in a book I was speed-re-reading. It’s called, “Why Men Hate Going To Church.” It’s a very good book with much to chew on. This quote got me smiling right away:
“Fellowship is a term invented by Christians who fear the word fun.”
He goes on to say, “The fellowship committee is a grudging admission from the powers within the church that there is a time and a place for fun, just as long as it doesn’t break out spontaneously, especially during a worship service!”
Of course “fellowship” is a biblical word, but he’s making a pretty important point.
One of the things I absolutely love about Community is we know how to have fun!
