Elevate and What's Next

Today was spent finalizing the details for the Student Ministry trip to Destin, FL (we think, hope, and pray). I know full well what it is like to have to change plans at the last minute thanks to the fact that we spend our summer's in the hurricane capitol of the world. At any rate, everything seems to have come together and we are geared up for an incredible week with Seth Condrey and Tony Nolan. We have been praying for this event for a long time and we believe that God has great things in store for the couple hundred teenagers that will be there. Ill keep you updated.

In the next couple of days I want to begin a discussion about how we (Christians in general) "do" church. There are a million conflicting ideas about this subject and the battle lines have been drawn. It should be fun. Any ideas that you may have - throw them my way.

I think the real struggle churches face, and the way they react to it determines where they stand on that battleline you are talking about, is the issue of maintenance. Does a church decide to let off the gas at all on evangelism and make the church focus on anything other than people who do not have a church home.

anyway just my perspective

I guess in many respects (as a result of looking at the stats, etc.) the question is...Do we even have our foot on the gas? We might be more concerned with anything and everything else that evangelism takes a back seat (maybe even a seat in the trunk).
