I wonder if churches do to people what zoos do to animals?

Are we producing producing Christians that are tame, were we put them in a cage behind a plexiglas, and makes them looking out of the window to the real world?
It is too safe. It is too tame. It is too predictable. I have to say "Christians in cage??" No thanks, and then why am I then acting like that? When I look back of the 18 years of my life in my church, with up's and down's, why don't there happens more in my life. Why doesn't people get saved and being followers of Christ? Why am I not willing to take risks?

I just wonder if churches do to people what zoos do to animals?

I love my church, and I love doing ministry in the church too. Often we take people out of their world, were they life and act, and we try to tame them in the name of Christ. We try to remove the danger. We try to remove the struggle. And we end up with a tame Christian.

I have made a decision not to be a boring follower of Christ. I want to live a life where risks are normal for my spiritual growth with Christ.

Don't you want to be like that?
