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.
Alan HirschWhen 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.
Alan HirschMission is the practical demonstration, whether by speech or by action, of the glorious lordship of Jesus.
Alan HirschIt is vital to see ourselves as part of an ongoing journey started by our heroes in the Scriptures.
