Book Blogging

"85-90% of churches in America are plateaued or declining" so says Ed Stetzer. His book 'Comeback Churches' is a research project that studied 324 churches that escaped from being locked into that 85-90%

As the mood hits me I will be posting some quotes etc from the book.

"A missional church functions as a missionary in it's own community. It eats, breathes and lives within it's culture while sowing seeds of redemption and Good News."

"Being indigenous (native to the town/culture) is harder than it sounds because almost all declining churches already have a culture."

"It's ironic that most churches are filled with people that act like the world but look different from it. It should be the opposite. We should look similar to those within our community but act differently. "

These quotes are just 7 pages into the book. It looks like it will be a good read.
