Being Church: Where We Live

Being Church: Where We Live
Christians all over the world have become dissatisfied with existing forms of church. Some are so frustrated that they have stopped going to church at all. These people are not troublemakers or backsliders, but are some of the best people God has. They have become disillusioned with a church that absorbs all their time and energy, but seems to be going nowhere.Â

Desperate situations call for radical change. More of the same will not get us to where we want to be. If we want the new wine of the Holy Spirit, we must shape our wineskins according to God's plan.

If you know in your heart that God has something better, and want to go hard out for it, you need to read this book. It offers a radical vision, based on the scriptures, that will stir your heart and explain God's purposes in these times.

This book contains several unique insights about radical change, relationships, community, apostles, prophets, pastors and discipling, evangelists and the gospel, leadership by elders, caring for the poor, and the Kingdom of God. Here are some quotes.

Radical difference between the church and the world should be normal.

Plurality of leadership is basic to the New Testament.

The early believers were all together. Modern Christians drive to church.

The modern pastor/leader does not exist in the New Testament.

Discipling takes place in relationships, not in meetings."

Pastor is not a title of a leader. Pastoring is something that elders do.

The pastor/leader model has created a desperate shortage of real pastoring in the modern church.
