Breaking the Missional Code
Our Elders read a book every two months and usually write a response paper of +/- 1000 words. But this month we opted to ditch the paper for a discussion of the book, Breaking the Missional Code by Ed Stetzer & David Putman.
Every church staff, Elders (or whatever you call your governing board) and extended leadership team should read this book and take the time to ask the difficult questions it raises!
Here’s a couple quotes that stood out to me…
“The church is God’s missionary to the world.”
“If it is true that God has sent Christ and Christ has sent the church, then we must take seriously the fact that the church is God’s instrument for mission.”
“With few exceptions, people come to Christ after they have journeyed with other Christians-examining and considering their claims.”
“It is amazing but consistent-churches that need to grow think they can do it without change!”
