Coincidence, no. Divine convergence, yes. Several things have converged in my life, I attended a seminar "Breaking the 500 Barrier", I really got know and understand the words of "Give Me Your Eyes" by Brandon Heath and I read "Who Stole My Church?" by Gordon MacDonald.First of all, if that title, "Who Stole My Church?" is something you're asking yourself, then you need to read the book. If it intrigues you, then you need to read the book and if you're a leader, then you need to read the book.
What are we doing to re-focus the church to go beyond the four walls? The church is not for those inside it's fold, but the lost still outside. How do we get them inside? We need to have Jesus' eyes and Jes
us' arms and Jesus hands to see them, love them and serve them. We knock down the barriers by making our church a place of relevance to the lost. The message doesn't change, but the way we reach out, changes.Ours is a post-modern world, a scary place where people don't have a basic understanding of Judeo-Christian thought patterns. They are wandering in the dark, and their are many lights that beckon them. The question is what is our local light doing to attract them?
