When the church is in mission, it is the true church. The church itself is not only a product of that mission but is obligated and destined to extend it by whatever means possible. The mission of God flows directly through every believer and every community of faith that adheres to Jesus. To obstruct this is to block God's purposes in and through his people.

There is no doubt that to walk with Jesus means to walk on the wilder side of life.

There's no such thing as an unsent Christian. You have already been SENT.

Every Christian is a sent one. There is no such thing as an unsent Christian.

Most churches don't have the resources for these tricks and inducements but are still bound to the imagination that church happens on a Sunday in a building.

You cannot sell a Christendom approach to a post-Christian world. They are anti-Christian.
