This hit me like a ton of bricks. "Mission is not merely an activity of the church. It is the very heartbeat and work of God." Our hearts beat to send blood through our bodies to keep us moving, functioning, living. Without it, we do not exist in this life anymore. So what does being missional mean? I have read through what a missional church is not.....attractional, dualistic, and hierarchical. So, where does that leave us? It seems so simple, it leaves us with the picture of what Jesus and the disciples were, what they did, how they preached, and how they lived. At least, that is what I think of and picture in my mind. But, how does that fit into where we are? How do we move from the "come-to-us" into the "go-to-them" church? What are your thoughts on this?
