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

Real leaders ask hard questions and knock people out of their comfort zones and then manage the resulting distress.

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

Truth is narrow, but grace is wide.

Whether we like it or not, we are all on a journey, a Quest if you will, every day of our lives, and the path we must take is full of perils, and our destiny can never be predicted in advance.

But the standard churchy spirituality doesn't require any real action, courage, or sacrifice from its attendees.

The appetite for adventure and risk is not exclusive to young Christians. In face, it seems to be a fundamental yearning, knitted into the fabric of the human soul.
