Welcome!

Welcome to Zauth, an online magazine dedicated to discussing postmodern culture, Jesus, and the places he is or isn’t found. We believe the postmodern world should be embraced, loved, and given a great big hug. This should happen no matter what one looks, thinks or acts like. After all, if Jeffery Dahmer can wind up in heaven, anyone can.

The church is beginning to look different in the 21st century. No longer is it relegated to big buildings with a huge staff. The church is in the process of leaving the building. Some established congregations have understood this for a long time, thus, the creation of some wonderful small group programs. Those same congregations are now taking Jesus to the streets, to their neighbors, to the marginalizied of soceity, those on drugs and those living in shelters and underneath bridges, and others who don’t fit nicely into a well-dressed suburban style of Christianity. We need to listen closely to our world. Do you hear that sound? That is the sound of someone calling out for help. They need us. Christians of the 21st century need to be attentive to those that have problems and be authentic about our own. We all have problems and struggles; it’s not just THEM!   By the way, what a terrible word for Christians to use. I doubt Jesus used it exept when he pointed at the traditional leaders of his day.

Chris Forbes, from MinistryMarketingCoach.com, takes a close look at contemporary churches and the groups they target in outreach efforts. The truth may be that churches are reaching out to the segments of soceity that are shrinking the most.
