Escape the Lame

"Over the years, we have run into people who think the city in which they live is lame, their job is lame, their church is lame., their neighborhood is lame. Everything...lame. How different would they feel is they knew that God had called, equipped  and set them free to be part of His mission of reconciliation in their own workplaces, neighborhoods, cities, and churches -- the very things with which they're so very discontent!"

    -Matt Chandler, Creature of the Word: The Jesus Centered Church,  pages 89
   

Because He Reigns

“God does not send out his church to conquer. He sends us out in the name of the One who has already conquered. We go only because he reigns.”

— Kevin Deyoung and Greg Gilbert, What is the Mission of the Church?
(Wheaton, Ill.: Crossway Books, 2011), 46
