You plant the gospel. You don't plant churches.

Building community for its own sake is like attending a cancer support group without having cancer.

A retreatist spirituality is not a spirituality that can, or will, transform the world in Jesus's name.

Being the church that Jesus intended means that we must participate in God’s eternal purposes for his world. Renewal means more than reinventing ourselves; it means rediscovering the primal power of the Spirit and the gospel already present in the life of the church—reconnecting with this purpose and recovering the forgotten ways. This purpose and potential have always been there, but individuals and communities have largely lost touch with them.
