Thought #2

The Church is not about survival

Survival has to do with shoring up, sandbagging and taking otherwise defensive measures against whoever. That results in many things that are patently unhealthy, like labeling enemies and hording provisions and living in fear. Instead, the church is about taking ground and moving forward and thinking strategically and praying boldly. Note: this is not done with an attack mentality - but instead with a "let's redefine what life is all about" mentality where we invite people into experiencing the Way, the Truth and the Life of the person of Jesus.
