Leaving the church means leaving Christ | Denny Burk

Yesterday you read an article by Denny Burk regarding Donald Miller's reasons for leaving the church. Here is a response to his reaction to the post.



Donald Miller has written a lengthy follow-up to his original post explaining why he has left the church (to which I responded yesterday). In this second posting, he doubles down on his original position that Christians need not involve themselves in a local church. They can attend if they want, if it helps them. But it is not necessary. It is certainly not a norm that should be imposed on all Christians everywhere.

Because Miller’s essay is so long (over 3,000 words!), I will not attempt a point-by-point rebuttal. Nevertheless, a response is in order since he takes issue with my contention that leaving the church is “spiritual suicide.”



Under point #8, He writes: MORE: Leaving the church means leaving Christ | Denny Burk
