But the standard churchy spirituality doesn't require any real action, courage, or sacrifice from its attendees.

Currently, young Christians reach adulthood bored with church experience, and with little or no sense of their calling as missionaries.

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.

There’s no such religious force in the West as powerful as consumerism.

A missional church is a church that must live the dialectic. It must stay in the journey.

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

A retreatist spirituality is not a spirituality that can, or will, transform the world in Jesus's name.
