The missional church is not a new trend or the latest new technique for reaching postmodern people.

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

Truth is narrow, but grace is wide.

The ultimate solution to the problem of spiritual complacency is to create a systematically embedded culture of holy urgency.

Put simply, the church finds itself in a post-Christendom era, and it had better do some serious reflection or face increasing decline and eventual irrelevance.

In order to develop a pioneering missional spirit, a capacity for genuine ecclesial innovation, let along engender daring discipleship, we are going to need the capacity to take a courageous stand when and where necessary.

It's not so much that the church has a mission, it's that the mission of God has a church.
