Why Is The Chinese Church So Unstoppable? And we've twisted it and it's evil."Ĭhan's documentary challenges Christians to be inspired to do more than sit in a chair on Sunday. It's at the core of what we understand it means to follow Jesus Christ. We serve and give our lives as a ransom for many. Because you're supposed to be turning them into servants," Chan says in the documentary. "One of our elders called it pastoral malpractice… we are actually ruining people by making them consumers. Those questions drove him to begin a journey to examine church in the light of Scripture while rejecting the trend of church-goers treating church like a consumer product where they look only at what they can get out of it, not what they can give to it. Have you ever wondered if there was more to church than what you're currently experiencing? Have you ever asked yourself what it really looks like to be the Church as God intended?Ĭhan wrestled with the same questions, according to the documentary. He is also the founder and chancellor of Eternity Bible College, also located in Simi Valley, and is the author of several books, including the New York Times Best Seller Crazy Love. Francis Chan has released a new documentary under his " Letters to the Church" series on YouTube.Ĭhan, 51, is the former teaching pastor of Cornerstone Community Church in Simi Valley, California, a church he and his wife started in 1994.
