Regrettably, we've made it acceptable to sit in church week after week & do nothing & still call yourself a 'Christian.'

Teaching people to become like Jesus, outside of the power of Jesus, dishonors Jesus.

If your church loves the way you do church more than your children, it loves the wrong thing.

Barna is correct when he writes, "After fifteen years of diligent digging into the world around me, I have reached several conclusions about the future of the Christian church in America. The central conclusion is that the American church is dying due to lack of strong spiritual leadership. In this time of unprecedented opportunity and plentiful resources, the church is actually losing influence. The primary reason is the lack of leadership. Nothing is more important than leadership."7

The Christian life is not about finding safety and comfort; it’s about finding yourself in a dangerous place of vulnerable compassion.

A church without the broken is a broken church.

You cannot hate a people and reach a people at the same time.
