For me, one of the biggest issues I have seen within the church is people getting hurt by other Christians.  It may seem small to some but large to others.  The little comments, the negative looks, the judgment, the fear, the false doctrine, the members that have no idea what real salvation looks like, maybe the neglect from members or is it just the sure volume of landmines that we must navigate just getting in and out of the building.  Honestly, it is truly a shame that we even have to have this conversation.

All of this equates to the likelihood of getting “Church Hurt”. If you don’t know what that means it doesn’t mean you haven’t felt it.  At the simplest level Church Hurt is: The pain sometimes inflicted by a religious institution – a pain that distances sufferers from their communities and from God.    It is kind of a shame that when we commit to a local church that we fear sooner or later it will hurt us.
