@strangeordinary@rohadi Interesting idea and challenging to consider. Would love to dialogue with you more about this. BBQs are great, but not a good substitute for kingdom work of challenge powers and voicing biblical reconciliation.
@danwhitejr Right on. Though I fear it may take too long. But one thing is true, the church seems to suffer when it becomes comfortable. God give us grace to embrace discomfort as a means to be about your business.
@nicholenordeman The real challenge is learning how to put this into practice. Right think and right action together. May God give us a new imagination to conceive new possibilities. Thanks for sharing!
@Baumflough @fairlyspiritual We have to “set our hearts in pilgrimage” so to speak. But I will say this intentionality is different from striving. We must abide (Jn15) in him, get close and stay close to Him. Prayer, Scripture, Silence... He paints the masterpiece, we provide the canvas. 2/2
@Baumflough @fairlyspiritual Right on! Responding to God’s invitation to growth requires that we be intentional. Sadly, many in my faith tradition expect God to just do it for them...like osmosis following a worship set. 1/2
