A couple months ago, Jack Hager reposted this from Kevin DeYoung. With Easter tomorrow, it just seems right to re-post again, now.

"It's sexy among young people - my generation - to talk about ditching
institutional religion and starting a revolution of real
Christ-followers living in real community without the confines of
church.
Besides being unbiblical, such notions of churchless Christianity are
unrealistic. It's immaturity actually, like the newly engaged couple who
think romance preserves the marraige, when the couple celebrating their
golden anniversary knows it's the institution of marriage that
preserves the romance.
Without the God-given habit of corporate worship and the God-given
mandate of corporate accountability, we will not prove faithful over the
long haul.
What we need are fewer revolutionaries and a few more plodding visionaries..."
