Maybe the Insititutional Chuch isn't the problem after all! |

As I have spent a good deal amount of time researching the subject of the House Church or the Organic Church I've had the opportunity to speak with people who have left the I.C. as they call it (I.C. stands for Institutional Church) They are quick to point out all the flaws that they see in the IC and don't get me wrong all churches have enough flaws to go around. They use these apparent flaws as the reason they have left the I.C. They say they long for a truer expression of their faith in Christ and they postulate that they can find it in the house church. Yet when they are given the chance to attend a house church and begin to more fully experience their faith in Christ, they still don't show up! So I wonder is it really the problems with the I.C. or is that just an excuse to stay away from church?
