One Year Challenge

"The challenge is for one year, and it involves five components. I dare you over the next year to…
1 pray for the entire world;
2 read through the entire Word;
3 sacrifice your money for a specific purpose;

5 commit your life to a multiplying community.

Church as troop carrier into the church as luxury liner

"When I think about the history of the SS United States, I wonder if she has something to teach us about the history of the church. The church, like the SS United States, has been designed for battle. The purpose of the church is to mobilize a people to accomplish a mission. Yet we seem to have turned the church as troop carrier into the church as luxury liner. We seem to have organized ourselves, not to engage in battle for the souls of peoples around the world, but to indulge ourselves in the peaceful comforts of the world."
