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

Most churches don't have the resources for these tricks and inducements but are still bound to the imagination that church happens on a Sunday in a building.

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.

There's no such thing as an unsent Christian. You have already been SENT.

The kingdom of God is a crash-bang opera: the king is dramatic, demanding, and unavoidable.

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

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.
