A Few More Dangerous Church Thoughts

from various speakers:

The gospel is for the city. If you want to impact the city, you have to understand it.

You don't shape a city programatically, but by transforming individual lives.

Jeremiah 29:7 - pray for the "shalom" of the city. Shalom means more than just "peace" as we know it but embraces all aspects of well being including education, business, politics, etc.

Some Notes from Notes

From a Cultural perspective, the dangerous church will have:

From a Church perspective,
- Navigated the post-seeker context
- Regained confidence in the Gospel
- Addressed evangelical confusion
- Rethought discipleship
- Worked through denominational catharsis
- Found networking strategies
- Implemented new innovations
