Real Church As a Community of Transformation

button bush

We all need more change, more transformation. Here's the good news logic:

1. Either you've arrived, or you need more change.
2. You have not arrived.
3. Therefore, you need more change.

Welcome to the kingdom of God, and the fellowship of the King. 
Real "church" is a community of transformation. 

Wesley Hill writes: "Anyone who joins such a community should know that it is a place of transformation, of discipline, of learning, and not merely a place to be comforted or indulged.” (From Wesley Hill, Washed and Waiting: Reflections on Christian Faithfulness and Homosexuality,  p. 68)

Good-bye Consumer Market-Driven Church. 

Good night Starbucks in the Lobby Church. 

Sleep tight Show Business Church. 

Be pressed but not crushed, struck down but not destroyed.
