Earlier this week I went with 5 other guys from the church to Catalyst OneDay. I wrote about that here.  I’m a still a little shell-shocked from the traveling, two late nights (for me), and a whole day of learning. Wednesday I spent some time in court (no I’m not in jail) so that always brings a certain amount of “nerves” and then release.

So I’m a little fried. I thought I would let others speak for me.

“The longer a church is stalled, the harder it is to break out.” CG  That sure says why some churches trapped in tradition for so long are often “dead in the water.”

“If you are not dead, you are not done!” CG  So true. How many give up without a fight thinking they are over the hill? Even though my age says 62 and I certainly don’t have the stamina I used to, I feel more alive than I ever have.

“We are not a megachurch. We are a microchurch with a mega vision.” CG  I like this one. A big vision helps expand the thinking of the church, and therefore expands the ministry of that church.

“Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.” David in Psalm 127:1 I am not one who calls the place of worship the house of God. I believe the Holy Spirit is present in each Christ-follower, making us His temple-His house. The church is the body of Christ, not a building. Unless He builds the church, we waste our time.

Any thoughts?
