Serving Bread

I came across this post over at Christarchy.com that identifies the author’s opinion of the Top Ten Heresies of the American Church. A couple that I found poignant were: equating salvation with comfort and prioritizing politics over prayer. I’ve thought what I would include on my list. I would add:

• Church = Consumption culture. We shop around for what we think best meets our needs. I heard of a couple who chose one church over the other because of the better playground structure.
• Faith is 10% commitment. We look for ways to give our tithes and offerings up to 10%. A fraction of our time and money belongs to God, but the rest belongs to us.
• Personality-driven leadership. The church misses out on the opportunities to empower more people for ministry when the focus is on the single person who is uniquely gifted and even branded with his or her particular church.

What would you add?
