Ive never been much of a reader but this book is blowing my mind and confirming what I knew all along about what church should be. I will never connect myself to a church that is just a church geared towards church people. Read this book and let it shape how you view the purpose of 21st Century church. From the book Deep and Wide by Andy Stanley: “What does all this mean for those of us called to lead and shape the twenty-first-century ekklesia of God? It means we need to look around our kirches (churches) and ask some unsettling questions. Questions like: “-Are we moving or simply meeting? -Are we making a measurable difference in our local communities or simply conducting services? -Are we organized around a mission or are we organized around an antiquated ministry model inherited from a previous generation? -Are we allocating resources as if Jesus is the hope of the world or are the squeaky wheels of church culture driving our budgeting decisions? -Are we ekklesia or have we settled for kirsche (church)?.
