For one thing, we have recently released the Love Jesus, Hate Church
Podcast. Hurray! Slap, slap, slap—
high-fives all around! This wonderful new development (uh, well
it's new to us!) now allows us to "speak" to many Love Jesus,
Hate Church co-patriots worldwide that we have been unable to
connect with in the past. Our goal is to try to post three or more
podcasts per week in order to offer help and encouragement to the masses
who, like us, suffer from the Love Jesus, Hate Church types of hurt that often
take place behind sanctified church walls.
Come on, you know what I'm talking about.
As a final note, it is our desire to take the Love Jesus,
Hate Church Reformation message to you and your church.
But we need your help to do that.
"Oh,
and just what is the Love Jesus, Hate Church Reformation
message?" you ask.
Pretty much the same thing as our Love Jesus, Hate Church
(the book) message. Only we bring the Love Jesus,
Hate Church Reformation message in one or a series
of sermons, much like a revival, that's designed to present the Church
in the light Christ intended, and not in the apathy most of us currently
live in.
If
you're a pastor, church leader, or simply a concerned church member and
would like some information on how to have us come to your church and
begin the Love Jesus, Hate Church Reformation, just click -

I hope to hear from you soon.
Until next time,
Steve McCranie

Disclaimer:
This newsletter, by design, cuts no slack when it comes to confronting
the Love Jesus, Hate Church phenomena that seems to make up much
of the current, contemporary church of today. So, if you’re looking for
a lame, watered-down, skim-milk type of newsletter that will share with
you meaningless, feel-good tidbits of stuff you probably already know—
well, you’re in the wrong place.
But if you want truth— no holds barred, no apologies and no compromise
truth— then please, read
(or listen) on.
Oh yeah,
Church in the Two Kingdoms!
Or, should I say, "How we do church in the Two
Kingdoms.
Do we
follow the rules of this kingdom? You know, the
"all we want you to do is feel good about yourself," and
"Jesus suffered and died to give you more stuff... just like
your own Santa Clause in the sky!" — Ugh.
Classic, late night, TBN sort of junk.
Or, do we do church
by the rules of His Kingdom — the Kingdom of God?
"And what are those rules?" you ask.
Stay tuned and find out...
Note: This podcast
consists of a Love Jesus, Hate Church Reformation Seriessermon on
the subject of Life in the Two Kingdoms
titled, "Church: American Style"
And, as you know, there are some inherent limitations in
listening to a recording of a live message. Therefore,
if you imagine me pointing to the Kingdom of God to my left
and the kingdom of the world to my right, you will get a
better picture of the dynamics of the topic.

As a point
of reference, a study on our life in the "two kingdoms"
seemed appropriate at this time in our Love Jesus,
Hate Church journey.
"What are the two kingdoms?" you ask.
Good question.
In a nutshell (Cliff Notes style), the two kingdoms are
the two realms of existence all Believers own real
estate in. You know, the kingdom of this
world with all its rules and definitions of success and
the Kingdom of God Jesus continually spoke about.
Let's see how we are to live in these two divergent
kingdoms, shall we?

The Place to Begin
Saturday,
September 2, 2006, posted by Steve McCranie - (16.09)
Ah yes, the
best place to begin anything is always at the
beginning. And that also holds true of Love Jesus,
Hate Church. I mean, how did
all this come about? Where did it start? Where
did it all begin?
And, what about the purpose?
You know, the overriding, spiritual, "this is why I get
up in the morning" type of purpose? What are you
trying to accomplish?
What, if
anything, are you trying to prove with Love Jesus, Hate Church?
Excellent questions.
Now, let me see if I can begin by answering your
questions in this podcast.
THANK YOU
for your support and comments on Love Jesus, Hate Church.
It appears this book has hit a nerve with many hurt, discouraged
and disillusioned church members.
Please feel free
to forward this email to as many as you believe would benefit
from the Love Jesus, Hate Church message.
