The inability to do everything people expect of you isn’t a flaw in your character; it’s a feature of your design. You are not God.

Post of the day: perhaps the most important essay I’ve read so far this year. @JonHaidt on social media, trust, the Tower of Babel, and what to do about it. https://t.co/HxpiVVpOb8

The Church Plant "launch" is a bad idea that originated in the business sector for bringing a new product to market.

We need more Church Plant marinades that soak and saturate for a longtime in a neighborhood to see if God is cooking something.

@Airbnb @AirbnbHelp I’m experiencing terrible service. Just cancelled a stay within 48 hours as per terms and conditions but you are refusing to refund me. No help given so far. Please sort

@vehementsnow @Cypressmtn @Cypressmtn only Eagle today. No lions or ravens?! Would appreciate more of a heads up. So many people wasting their days

There is no launch of a Church Plant, it's not a rocket ship.

A Church Plant roots deep in a place and slowly provides vegetation for a local community.

Some Christians seem to think the Great Commission is about getting people to come to church. I'm all for people coming to church and learning to be the church, but the Great Commission is about the Church getting into the world with love and mercy and the message of Jesus.

A bit of wisdom from a wise rabbi on the upside down spirituality of God.

[The Tentative Apologist @RandalRauser]

I've noticed that God regularly "calls" pastors at smaller, struggling churches to move on to larger, more "prestigious" congregations. But he never seems to call pastors away from those large churches back to small, struggling ones.

Funny that.

Church planter stop asking ‘How am I going to start my church in this place?” And start asking “How am I going to be the church in this place?”

Fundamentalism is not what we believe, it's how we hold our beliefs.

1. Absolutism in Knowledge
2. Self-righteous in Spirit
3. Combative in Dialogue
4. Us vs Them in Orientation
5. Demonizing Other Groups
6. Policing Ideological Borders
7. Using Shame to Control/Ostracize

People are not problems to be solved. People are saints in process and to be served.

The next Reformation is rumbling just below the surface and it will disrupt the Sunday-centric, consumer-oriented, moral-political project of Evangelicalism.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

I marvel at how many speakers lead as if discipleship takes place mainly through sermons.

That's like going to a nursery, spraying the babies with milk, and claiming we fed them.

Bonhoeffer said it well: Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

[Pete Scazzero @petescazzero]

As we return to gathering in person, let's do the hard work of changing the scorecard for success from great services & large gatherings, to deep transformational discipleship for every single person on our team and in our ministry.

God is serious about getting our attention.

The 'median' Christian in the world is not male but female, not white but brown, black, or Asian, 22 years old, in the developing world rather than the first world—and far more Pentecostal than Presbyterian. She has not been to a Passion conference; she has not read CS Lewis...
