Some things I heard today...
"In God's eyes, the church is Plan A, and there is no Plan B."
Addressing church growth methodologies, James Montgomery Boice said, "Whatever you win people BY, you win them TO."
Further addressing faulty church growth methodologiesLigon Duncan says, "In the name of reaching the unchurched, radical contextualization has succeeded in unchurching the churched."
"The key to ministry 'success' is FAITHFULNESS, not contextualization. We must not baptize cultural norms to the detriment of the Gospel message."
Finally, "Anyone who says 'Preach the Gospel always and sometimes use words' probably does not understand the Gospel. The Gospel is not something we 'do,' it is something done FOR us."
To quote an old friend, "You think about that."
