We have to assume now that all mission is cross-cultural.

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

It is vital to see ourselves as part of an ongoing journey started by our heroes in the Scriptures.

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

Heroes are important not only because they symbolize what we believe to be important, but because they also convey universal truths about personal self-discovery and self-transcendence, one's role in society, and the relation between the two.

If we could be freed from our aversion to loss, our whole outlook on risk would change.

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.
