Christianity is an adventure of the spirit or it is not Christianity.

Our preferences for stability and security blind us to the opportunities for adventure when they present themselves.

If we could be freed from our aversion to loss, our whole outlook on risk would change.

The safety-obsessed church lacks the inner dynamic to foster profound missional impact in our time.

The quest for heroic adventure then is a quest for the gospel, although it might not be seen that way by everyone.

Christianity is an adventure of the spirit or it is not Christianity.

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.
