Here is a link to a post on Perry Noble's blog you need to read.
He is the Pastor of NewSpring Church in Anderson, South Carolina. He is just as passionate about God and being real and relevant for Christ as our own Pastor Ken. Perry's style is different but his message is the same.
The message is - we are here to reach people for Christ, not to protect ourselves in a Christian bubble. The people we are trying to reach are those who do not know Jesus yet.
The church should be a place where believers greet and welcome people, children, families, who are looking for Jesus. We are not trying to make people more like us; we are introducing them to Jesus so they can build a relationship with Him, choose to ask him to dwell in their hearts and become new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Perry doesn't pull any punches so please get past the language and hear the message, see this child through Jesus' eyes.
This is our job every week in the children's ministry. This is our job every day in a world looking for Christ but being criticized by Christians.
