God built the escape route from godlessness to paradise, defined the escape route with holy places, made a map of them, established a Church, entrusted the map to the Church and gave the Church the mission of facilitating our escape - not filtering it, not frustrating it and not fouling it up. The job of the Church is to be grease for the wheels of the escape not an obstacle in its way. When the Church becomes a bottleneck to the escape, the children of Adam and Eve go over it, under it, around it and through it.
“When the Holy Spirit is tugging at our souls and the curious are following the tug back to its source, it is time for the Church to get out of the way. Its job is over. Its work is done.”
“The Church is the new Moses - the servant / leader of the escape”
