came across an interesting opinion this afternoon as i was doing my daily reading (check out the column to the right for more info on what i'm reading). here's the opinion:
"doing church differently is like rearranging the chairs on the titanic. we must realize that slight tweaks, new music, creative lighting, wearing hula shirts, shorts, and flip flops won't make doing church more attractive. church must not be the goal of the gospel anymore. church should not be the focus of our efforts or the banner we hold up to explain what we are about. church should be what ends up happening as a natural response to people wanting to follow us, be with us, and be like us as we are following the very way of Christ."
pretty hard.
what do you think? right? wrong? some right or some wrong?
let me know.

I suppose that's true.
Church should be a natural response...not a sexy marketing tool.
Maybe people are focusing too much on making church sexy than they are on evangelizing...
Hmm...I dunno.
Agree. Great book by the way. I am re-reading it now with some other guys. The reflection questions at the end of each chapter are also great.
