Does the church have it wrong?

For so long the Church, and rightly so, have talked about—strived toward being more like God.  We pursue this in our worship, in our preaching, and in our living… We have tried to be holy and righteous, which are good things, but I think that perhaps along the way we have lost the plot when it comes to practical evangelism.  Perhaps we as the Church, in an attempt to reach people with the Gospel, have gotten it wrong?
If in our attempt to reach people, we were to have a realistic look at God (our ultimate example), maybe we would see that ultimately God became Man in order to reach man.  I am fully convinced we will never reach people if we cannot relate with/to them.  Do not underestimate the power of being real—without the judgment toward people… If you remember, Jesus spent his time in the highways and byways of mankind, surrounded with the lost and lowliest.  Church was never meant to be contained within 4 walls.
