Do This or Die, Church — part 2

Around 200 churches will close this week, maybe more. The pace will accelerate unless our congregations make some dramatic changes.

2. We must cease seeing the church as a place of comfort and stability in the midst of rapid change. Certainly, God’s truth is unchanging. So we do find comfort and stability in that reality.

But don’t look to your church not to change methods, approaches and human-made traditions.

Indeed, we must learn to be uncomfortable in the world if we are to make a difference. “We’ve never done it that way before,” is a death declaration.
