Wednesday, March 03, 2004Life-long Learning This is a really interesting little article. It is from the evangelical alliance website. Under the section "imagine". It seems to be trying to think about church in todays worlkd issues. Have a read of this. It starts like this: "The Church in the UK has a 'convert and retain' strategy. Christ had a 'disciple and release' strategy. Are we making disciples?" You have no idea how much I agree with that!! Let's not try to 'convert people' let's try to make them Followers of Jesus. We are not trying to persuade them of mental truths but modelling a new way of life, empowered by the spirit, and drawing them into it. That is why our friends must encounter our Home Church Communities - that is where the realities of our new way fo life are worked out - warts and all! It places at the centre of our life the need for us to be continually learning as we follow Jesus on the journey. Are you growing? Do you like the article? Posted by: Mark | 9:20 am |
