The church of Jesus needs to wake up from the exile of passivity and embrace liminality and adventure or continue to remain a religious ghetto for culturally co-opted, fearful, middle-class folk.

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

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

A missional church is a church that must live the dialectic. It must stay in the journey.

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

Because we believe that somewhere in the nest of paradigms contained in the phrase "missional church" lies nothing less that the future viability of Western Christianity.

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.
