Absolutely not! This website was formed out of our love for The Church. Though she is tarnished, misrepresented and dirty, she is the bride of Christ, and that is the point. Despite her brokenness, she is beautiful. The Biblical metaphor for the church is that the church is an unfaithful prostitute and Christ is the groom who rescues her and purifies her. There’s beauty in that. In that metaphor is the entire story from Genesis to Revelation. The bride requires Christ alone to cleanse her. Only her prince charming, the Prince of Peace can restore her life and give meaning.

One of the worst things the church does today is that it tries to purify itself. It will not admit its brokenness and clings to self-righteousness and superstitious works to try to make itself look better than it is. In doing so, we cheapen the work that Christ has done and we tell a story that is nowhere near as true or as beautiful as the work God has been doing since the beginning of time.

We love the Church. We are the Church. But we are tarnished and we need Jesus to make us beautiful. We cannot and should not hide that or cloak it in any way. This website may be blunt and it may be edgy, but we do it all out of our love for Christ and His church. That love compels us not to cloak the Gospel message in the mores and norms of Christian subculture or in the deeds of religion. Love should be authentic and honest when it is right and when it may be wrong.
