What’s Weird About Our Modern Church? By Francis Chan

Here is just a little snippet of the message from Francis Chan at this year’s Catalyst Conference: (This is worth seven minutes of your time)

Where would your life as a Christian align itself in comparison to the New Testament Christians we read about in the Bible?

Where would our churches fall in with the New Testament Church as recorded in Scripture?

All great things to think about. Thoughts?

Challenge the Process – (Quote of the Day)

Photobucket

This is my dad…
This is me…

Funny, because I swore up and down when I was younger that I would never be like my dad. He was strict or at least I thought so at the time. I now find myself calling him often for advice and his opinion.

I am skimming through the Catalyst Groupzine, volume 1. (Its one of the items I picked up yesterday at STL.)

Here is Andy Stanley’s opening quote for which I relate:

The instinct to challenge the process is a fundamental quality of every leader. When God created leaders, He equipped them with an unsettling urge to unpack, undo, and unearth methods. This explains your tendency to question everything around you. It’s the reason you have such strong opinions – And such a strong desire to share them. God wired you that way.

I can’t wait to read through it…right now I’m just skimming.
