"For me Christianity is about the Kingdom, not about the Church: it has to do with human growth and development nor church growth and development"
- Michael Taylor
About this Quote
This quote by Michael Taylor speaks to the idea that Christianity is not practically the Church, however rather about the Kingdom. He is suggesting that Christianity is more about human development and advancement than it is about church development and development. This suggests that Christianity is not just about participating in church services and following spiritual rules, however rather about how we can use our faith to grow and develop as individuals. Taylor is recommending that Christianity ought to be focused on how we can use our faith to progress people, instead of simply concentrating on the Church and its growth. He is highlighting the significance of individual growth and development, and how it is essential to living a life of faith. Eventually, Taylor is suggesting that Christianity needs to be concentrated on the Kingdom, not just the Church, and that it must be used to help us grow and develop as people.
