Most of you know I am on a break right now! I am having an awesome time…and I am more relaxed than I have been in years…thank you to all of those praying for me—keep it up…God is ROCKING my WORLD!
I have had a thought or two…or a thousand...on the church and it’s condition in general. Now let me be very clear—I am passionate about the church…you cut me and I will bleed the church…it is the ONLY organization that Jesus established while He was on the earth. And when it’s working right…there’s nothing like it on the planet.
What’s amazing is that before I met Christ…I wasn’t like this…I hated church…then He changed me, set me on fire…and has filled my mind with vision and passion to be consumed with the very thing that He is consumed with—HIS BRIDE!!!
One of the debates that is going on in the world today is the whole “church growth” movement. Some are for it…and others want the church to remain small so that everyone can know everyone else.
(I am not into the church growth movement—I’m into evangelism—it is this awesome idea initiated by this RADICAL guy named Jesus…and if you read Scripture…it’s not an option!)
So…for the next week or so I am going to do a series of posts entitled, “The Church And It’s Passion!” We are going to take a look into Scripture and see what Jesus thinks about churches that grow and churches that have a desire to remain small.
It should be fun!!!
