Missional, Incarnational, Attractional, Practical, Biblical…the Gospel


Posted on April 29th, by artie in Following God. 2 comments

These are such hot and hip words right now. Some use them in such a way that makes others question if they are speaking the same language or talking about the same thing.

I love all these words, at least as those I trust define them. However, I won’t let these words describe me. The reason is…the meaning may change. These words, or some other form were probably “hot” 100, 500 a 1000 years ago. 

But our call, our co-mission has never changed.

Be like Jesus. Demonstrate love, care for the poor and hurting. Preach and teach the Gospel, love one another and have an ongoing passionate love relationship with God.

I would rather describe myself in those terms. They have not changed in 2000 years.

What say you?
