Our preferences for stability and security blind us to the opportunities for adventure when they present themselves.

Nowadays we raise our children in a cocoon of domesticated security, far from any sense of risk or adventure.

Being the church that Jesus intended means that we must participate in God’s eternal purposes for his world. Renewal means more than reinventing ourselves; it means rediscovering the primal power of the Spirit and the gospel already present in the life of the church—reconnecting with this purpose and recovering the forgotten ways. This purpose and potential have always been there, but individuals and communities have largely lost touch with them.

We will have to take risks, to chance failure, to be willing to walk away from the familiar paths that have brought us to this point.

You plant the gospel. You don't plant churches.

Judgments about who belongs in the Hall of Fame are extremely subjective.

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