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

There’s no such religious force in the West as powerful as consumerism.

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

Many church folk, in their self-conscious attempt to be overtly morally upright, emit all the wrong signals, thus messing with people's perception of the gospel.

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

Unless the church is equipping believers to embrace the values and vision of the kingdom of God and turn away from the materialism, consumerism, greed, and power of the present age, it not only abandons its biblical mandate, it is rendered missionally ineffective.

Mission is the practical demonstration, whether by speech or by action, of the glorious lordship of Jesus.
