7 Shifts the Church Must Make Today

💥 7 SHIFTS THE CHURCH MUST MAKE TODAY!
By Glenn Bleakney

1. From a conventional pastoral paradigm...to the ancient apostolic approach.

2. From the ‘Gospel of salvation’...to the Gospel of the Kingdom.

3. From pressing people to make a decision for Jesus to leading people into discipleship and surrender to the Lordship of Christ.

4. From superficial relationships...to authentic community where grace and honor preside.

5. From passive participation, aka ‘church attendance’...to active Kingdom engagement [mission].

6. From mere intellectual knowledge of God...to encountering and walking in the glory of God.

7. From individuals using their gifts autonomously...to becoming the Body of Christ incarnate in the world.

I like this AbideinHim. Good post. I might add that I believe the ancient apostolic approach included a strong pastoral paradigm. But that's not even a criticism from me, just a comment. Good post bro.
