It is not enough to believe the Gospel with your head. It must become operational in your heart.

Church planter, remember the church is more than what happens today. Don't give too much attention to how many people join you, instead focus on the impact happening relationally throughout the week in neighborhoods, workplaces & social spaces. #churchplanting #newscorecards

"The real problem in prayer is not the absence of God but the absence of us. It’s not that God isn’t there; it’s (nine times out of ten) that we’re not. We are all over the place, entertaining memories, fantasies, anxieties. God is simply there in unending patience, saying to us, 'So when are you actually going to arrive? When are you going to sit and listen, to stop roaming about, and be present?'” --Rowan Williams, Being Disciples: Essentials of the Christian Life (2016). #prayer #problemofprayer

Jesus call to discipleship was an invitation to choose a direction—follow me—and not a command to adopt a doctrinal manifesto or align with a set of religious rites. ~ Reggie McNeal #discipleship #disciplemaking

🎯 This is a great word from Howard Snyder's classic "The Community of the King." I wish the church would truly grapple with these very wise words.

We must change the scorecard for success from great services and large gatherings, to a deep transformational discipleship for every single person in our church.

The gospel is this: We are more sinful and flawed in ourselves than we ever dared believe, yet at the very same time we are more loved and accepted in Jesus Christ than we ever dared hope.

Two seemingly contradictory currents mark our society
1. There is a denunciation of all claims of absolute truth
2. Yet there is also a fanaticism in which one position or group is absolutely right, nothing is ambiguous, and divergent views should be destroyed

The Fall means, we should expect to be regularly frustrated in our work even though we may be in exactly the right vocation.

🎯 THIS! Over and over and over again from #LesslieNewbigin
This is why we can't live in the past when thinking about the nature/essence of the church.
