Go among the people. Don't assume you know what church looks like.
We have to assume now that all mission is cross-cultural.
The safety-obsessed church lacks the inner dynamic to foster profound missional impact in our time.
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.
This submission to the threshold of a cross is at the very root of our following Jesus; it changes the game completely.
