Stop Dating the Church Chapter 1-- Questions for Reflection



(1) In chapter one Josh Harris writes, "Every Christian is called to be passionately committed to a specific local church". Do you agree with this statement? Why or why not?

(2) On pages 16-19 Harris profiles a "church-dater". Do you see any of these tendencies in yourself? If so, what is God calling you to do about it?

(3) Read 1 Corinthians 3:9 and 6:19. How do these scriptures speak to the necessity of our involvement with each other?

(4) On page 20-21, Harris writes, "God has not only saved us; He has invited us to participate in His master plan of redeeming a people for His glory. Through the local church we take part in His eternal plan to rescue men and women from their sin and totally transform their lives." Take a few minutes to dream. How might God desire to use Zion to help you reach your family? neighbors? colleagues? community?
