I am involved in many ongoing conversations around gospel, marketplace and the all-encompassing way of life that Jesus guides us to live. To live into His truth - that as you are going about your everyday life in whatever you do and with whatever knowledge you have - you are a disciple-maker, is tremendously freeing.
Yet many churches are still not freeing people into this way of life. Ironic. Even tragic.
In their own expression of CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility), many churches have contained and restrained the gospel by programming the Way of Jesus into group activities and forays into ‘the world’, rather than equipping and releasing people to live their life in Christ in the 98% of life they spend while NOT in church.
How would our neighbourhoods change if the organized church
re-organized itself in this direction?
Less will actually mean more.
