The Highchair People by Pastor Ed Young
But I love them enough to say, “You know what? You’re taking up space here at Fellowship Church. We need your seat. Go to another church in the area that’s a highchair church, and you can hang out with all the highchair people. And you can examine your navel and take the lint out of your navel and your neighbor’s navel. And you can study the bible and feed on the bible and it’s not going to change you because you don’t want to change and serve and get off your butt, but you can do that so just, in love, go to another church.”
And when I say that to them it’s like, “Wow, I can do that?” Yeah, you can do that. Love everybody. I love the highchair people, but they need to go to their own deal. But these highchair people can mess you up because they’ll try to mess you up and then they’ll kind of go to this chair and then they’ll go to this chair right here, and then they’ll really, really screw up this chair.
They’ll keep people from coming to the table. We’re not going to have it here at Fellowship Church. We’re not going to go there. We’ve said no to that for 17 years. If you want a dead church, if you want a church for the already convinced, if you want a stained glass fortress, if you want us four and no more, if you want a holy huddle, if you want people flipping off the community and telling them to go to hell using Christian knees, go somewhere else, but don’t come here.
That’s why Jesus said, if you’ll keep reading here in Luke chapter 19, the last verse, verse 10, Jesus says something that totally trashed me.
