(Creating a safe place for some dangerous work.)
A FRAGILE, UNSTOPPABLE FORCE! That is my description of the church. It is fragile because it is made up of unfinished, often times broken, imperfect but delightful people. It is unstoppable because it has the very life, presence, purpose and power of God at work in it and through it. In a message I shared recently at my home church I described some of my philosophy (theology) about the culture that we built our church around. My philosophy or theology, whichever you’re more comfortable with, has been greatly impacted by Scripture but also by my years as a pastor and marriage and family counselor. I believe the cultures that we create in our churches should “feel” like it felt to be around Jesus. This message is my attempt to explain some of the things that have helped shape our culture so that people feel and recognize God in our midst.
