All you need is...

Too many of us as pastors have measured our ministries by what we are against. We take these hard stances against this signaled out sin or that perceived sin.

However, as I read the Gospels, I hear Jesus saying: "The biggest sin you can commit is to neglect love!"

Secondly, too many of us measure success by our expositional or creative or leadership genius, when Paul says if we all of that, and have not love, we have nothing. Zip!

I truly believe pastors need to lead the church back to the way of love.

I truly believe God's Word can be summed up in one word: Love.

Jesus said if we get that right, everything else will take care of itself.

Why do we have to complicate it?

Take it back...

We live in the most highly educated society and the most highly participatory culture in the history of humankind. Everything around us has changed: the clothes we wear, the way we transport ourselves, how we communicate.

And yet, 99% of preachers stand up on Sunday morning and deliver a monologue. A soliloquy.

And their churches decline...

And they wring their hands....

There is another way...

There is a way of participation and inclusion and dialogue and conversation!
