Top 5 of 2012

As we ring in the new year, here are your most viewed items of 2012 here on the Sycamore-Fig.

5. The dodginess of soft music and candles theology - that infers Jesus' main task is to buy us flowers and take us out on a date, and how that might be slightly weird for men to hear.

4. The filter bubble. How Google hides stuff from us and thereby alters our perception of reality. And how church probably does the same.

3. Pagan Christianity. The book which details the non-Christian origins of our church practices - which probably explains why they often contradict Jesus.

2. Reverse Jesus. One example of how we do the opposite of Jesus - and a test to see if you remember what Jesus said.

1. Jesus > Religion. The title is about the differences between Jesus and Religion - and how in each case Jesus is much greater. Perhaps we should be talking Jesus more than talking church. (People are OK with Jesus)

Hopefully 2013 is a year of being less churchy and more Jesus-like.
