   I like what you said about healthy and salvation. Salvation: to be made whole. How our we made whole and complete? Is it through saying a few magic words? Like you said, it is about healing… and healing is done inwardly by the spirit often in communitywhere other folks are yearning to be healed and become healthy.
   Great post!

   Nice to have found you,

   Rick, a new visitor

   Thanks for visiting! Being a healing community is incredibly difficult. I think we have to abandon some of the typical external indicators of success if we are going to be committed to bringing health to the unhealthy.

   I’m not a blog groupie but I do appreciate MissionThink - thanks.

   Have you come across - Frost, M. and Hirsch, A. (2003) The Shape of Things to Come: Innovation and Mission for the 21st Century Church ?

   I like your blog. I am a new visitor. I have not heard of the “missional” church before — it is a very intriguing concept. I am encouraged by your words. keep it up. People should be, and will be drawn to the church by the Gospel — that we are sinners in need of a savior, who gives everything to us freely. Church attendance does not matter. I have always been skeptical of people who equate attendance with a “successful” church. The mega-church thing is so sickening sometimes. Where ever the Christ is preached, it is a success. And don’t stop your criticism of false teachers! A little bit of good mixed in with a lot of bad is very dangerous. We are all to be Bereans.

   I’ve read the book, and I think it’s great, but haven’t come up with any blogable thoughts yet.

Got something to say?
