If It's Tuesday I Must Be Reading

Tuesday is my reading day as I get a handle on where the week is headed and try to not just look at this week's opportunities but beyond that at where we as a church are headed.

Last night, I went to bed reading this again. Breaking the Missional Code: Your Church Can Become a Missionary in Your Community

I've reread a little more of Dan Kimball's book They Like Jesus but Not the Church: Insights from Emerging Generations

I have Erwin McManus' tome An Unstoppable Force: Daring to Become the Church God Had in Mind in front of me on the desk and it's time to start rereading it.

But you know what? I'm going to read the book of Acts this afternoon and let the Spirit connect the dots.

stay tuned

Can I Get An Amen?

“The churches that will cease to exist are not those who are doctrinally errant, but are spiritually errant. You can’t get away with it anymore. You can’t just talk about what the bible says, you better flesh it out or you are dead. That’s what’s exciting about the world in which we live. Only the viable church of Jesus Christ will survive, the inauthentic need not apply. I want to live in the world that if the church is not the revolution that Jesus died to establish 2000 years ago it ceases to exist. I want to live in a world where the church has no more crutches, or buffers to guard her from injury. I want a church where a culture no longer protects her. Whenever the gospel enters an environment, it prevails.”
