I loved this article from Ed Stetzer in Outreach Magazine. It explains why we're on our way to Philadelphia. Here's an excerpt.
The Church is the most powerful institution in the world. Where no electricity and running water exist, you will still find a church that is planting churches. When governments grow corrupt and economies crash, the Church still stands and plants more churches. Nothing in the world and nothing in the last two millennia of history can compare to the Church. It advances best by exponential and explosive multiplying. But not here.
You can read the rest of the article here.
Bo-Ditty Here !!! Yes Brad... Going All in with you on this one... Grace & Peace for your continued journey... Among the great "bites" from Stetzer, the one that jumped on me quick was, "One that cannot be controlled, confined or contained" For sure ! the index for the future... not easy & quite messy, but essential for this Generation as it contemplates what it means to be a Christ Follower. Love you guys & praying for mutual empowerment...
