When I was previously blogging the most popular installment was often the Monday quote.
Today’s quote comes from a book Alan Hirsch co-authored, “Right Here, Right Now.” Alan is a gifted writer who works hard to move all Christians mission. If you are a Christ follower I think this book is well worth your time, but for today hopefully a couple quotes will challenge the way we live and the way we view the church.
“Our churches have wonderfully written missional vision statements and well-conceived plans and programs. But if individual members are not committed to living their lives as kingdom-minded missionaries in their daily life stations then the corporate efforts of the church as a whole will never sniff the air of their true kingdom potential.”
“Perhaps the greatest factor that hinders the Western church from missional engagement is that most Christians here do not identify themselves as fully empowered agents of the kingdom of God.”
Have a good week.
