How would you "remake" church?

I think it is Erwin McManus who says about his church, "we don't have members, only missionaries." I like that. To answer your question, I don't know that mega churches or the number of members a ch…

How would you "remake" church?

Randy, Makes total sense! Sounds like you've been reading some of Frank Viola's stuff. Agree, in that I don't see the mega churches, building programs, clergy/laity disparities, et al in scripture.…

Stephen, great questions and reply from Randy. I'd love to see worship restored in the church. Much of what happens today is performance oriented singing. In the 1st century everyone brought someth…

Anna, thanks for sharing your heart on this topic. Whenever I read anything on this or any of the other volatile subjects, I have to be somewhat suspect of both sides - as each has a political agenda attached to their view. Back to the topic. My wi…

What if the problem is not the church? What if it is us? What if the average American Christian has become so self-oriented that we are blinded to what any sermon delivered in any manner in any environment can teach us if we are humble, teachable an…

Randy, I think you're right ON track! Many of the parables that Jesus spoke of were about the kingdom. "The kingdom of Heaven is like... But he began by proclaiming that the kingdom was "at hand", or embraceable. It is for the here and now. And, par…

Hal, Sorry I just realized my previous post got off track from your initial comments. I guess I went with the flow of where the other comments took it. I totally agree with you on teaching with story and such. I think it's where us regular folk live…

Definitely good stuff here. In my words, it's all about "interactive". People learn best that way, not falling asleep for an hour. I've heard a million sermons, but none really changed my life or walk with God. And, I can't remember a single one! I…

Adam, I appreciate your thoughtful reply. You're right - "we don’t ask questions anymore, we’re not in communication with the teacher." That's part of my problem with the current preaching model. Pastor goes to seminary. Gets called to a church. Di…

It has been said, "we paint what we value." It is vital that we understand the values of the culture that we are on mission to reach. Personally, I think we can discover that most readily in that culture's art.
