I recently visited their website again and they have a similar commercial (freechapel.org) called "Who Needs Church?" Well-made, but vague. I am on a personal journey and I am praying to find a True Orthodox Church. It has been difficult, but your blog has been inspiring and a big help. Continue blogging!

Ever...Anon, You seemed to not have analyzed enough. Everything about this commercial was accepting peoples excuses! Yes, Jesus comes to us where we are, but the commercial is not about that. It says we can come to the church just as we are, which is a nice protestant mantra, but ignores the fact that we must repent, change, turn, from the way we are to enter into righteousness. Jesus sent the Rich Young Ruler away! How dare He! This commercial invites all to be a part of "the church" with no call for repentance as Christ presented. You seem to be agreeing to an easy, no commitment, Westernized Christianity. It is not the way of our fathers and it is not Christianity at all. Do you not know that many such "christians" will hear the words, "Depart from me you wicked for I never knew you"?JTO Editor Nathan Lee Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01508044089049795771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27046650.post-1650219227148962722011-04-27T13:14:07.863-05:002011-04-27T13:14:07.863-05:00You missed the boat completely on this one.

Jesus comes to us where WE are as he did the woman at the well. Anything can be over analyzed as you did in your blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27046650.post-45320260187826792102011-03-31T21:31:53.710-05:002011-03-31T21:31:53.710-05:00I very much enjoyed reading this.
