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

Currently, young Christians reach adulthood bored with church experience, and with little or no sense of their calling as missionaries.

This submission to the threshold of a cross is at the very root of our following Jesus; it changes the game completely.

The kingdom of God is a crash-bang opera: the king is dramatic, demanding, and unavoidable.

Whether [new Protestant church movements] place their emphasis on new worship styles, expressions of the Holy Spirit’s power, evangelism to seekers, or Bible teaching, these so-called new movements still operate out of the fallacious assumption that the church belongs firmly in the town square, that is, at the heart of Western culture. And if they begin with this mistaken belief about their position in Western society, all their church planting, all their reproduction will simply mirror this misapprehension.

In missional churches, the baby birds have been pushed out of the nest and are learning to fly for themselves.

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