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

Whether [new Protestant church movements] place their emphasis on new worship styles, expressions of the Holy Spirit’s power, evangelism to seekers, or Bible teaching, these so-called new movements still operate out of the fallacious assumption that the church belongs firmly in the town square, that is, at the heart of Western culture. And if they begin with this mistaken belief about their position in Western society, all their church planting, all their reproduction will simply mirror this misapprehension.

Truth is narrow, but grace is wide.

Building community for its own sake is like attending a cancer support group without having cancer.

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

If we can embrace the adventure and risk and equip our churches to lay down their lives and abandon their inherent loss-aversion, who knows what innovation, what freshness, what new insights from the Spirit will emerge.

Every Christian is a sent one. There is no such thing as an unsent Christian.
