I was going through my twitter feed tonight when I came across a tweet that got me to go to Amazon.com and on their front page they were talking about their use of Frustration-Free Packaging. It’s not totally new but it was the first time i’ve actually read through the page, the one that got my attention:

What’s the difference between Certified Frustration-Free Packaging and traditional packaging?

The Certified Frustration-Free Package (on the left) is recyclable and comes without excess packaging materials such as hard plastic clamshell casings, plastic bindings, and wire ties. It’s designed to be opened without the use of a box cutter or knife and will protect your product just as well as traditional packaging (on the right).

Did you get that? They want to take away all the crap that gets in the way and allow you to get to what you really want. Sound familiar? In church it seems to be the same way many times there’s lots of crap we have to get through to get to what we are really searching for, the Grace and Love of our Savior.  But how many times have people not gotten to that because there’s so much crap in the way? They have to get through all the “church” to get to the Christ.  All the rules and regulations that people have created that actually stop people from the relationship.  When people are worried more about where to park, what to wear, or all the other things than being able to forget about all  these distractions and begin to on what God is trying to share with them that day.

So what are you doing to make it easier for people to reach Christ?
