Going Missional

The following post makes for interesting reading. It is what I am personally convicted about myself.

We need to return to the house church and the dialogue with unbelievers where they are. No more can we afford to be building edifices and be concern about filling buildings, pews or benches.

Church need to revert to small group meetings where all worshippers actively participate and share in the proceedings.

I also think we need to have a kingdom focus. We are not waiting to depart, but rather that we are actively participating in spreading the influence of the kingdom through our good works. Our works motivated by love, the fear of God, obedience to his commandments and reliance on his Scriptures and the Holy Spirit.
