De-construction or De-struction

What is your attitude when it comes to the traditional church vs the missional church? I found another article called Demolition or Renovation by Andrew Hamilton. (Click on the title to view) It has really challenged me to check my attitude more often when I think about my current setting. I will not complain and only say something when it might help rather than hurt! NO matter the context those in any church if they are true believers are my brothers and sisters and most I know are very Godly people trying the best they know how. Most are also very wise and loving people who, even if they don't see what I do, are people I can learn from.

Missional Church in suburbia???

What would a missional church look like in suburbia?

Phil Parshall is well known for his C1-C6 contextualisation spectrum and its application to an Islamic context. However what would it mean for us to think in those terms for western communities?

Click on the title to be re-directed to a great articl titled C1-C6 in Suburbia by Andrew Hamilton.

Andrew Hamilton is the FORGE Director in Western Australia . He is involved in the planting and developing of a new missional community in Brighton ( Perth ). He was formerly senior pastor at Lesmurdie Baptist Church in Perth.

Let me know what you think!!

The Will of God


Is there one person who is the only person who is right for you?

Is there only one job or path in life that is right and if we some how miss it we are not in God's will?

I think no to these questions and many more like them. I believe that there are may choices with in God's sovereign will. Above you see a good illustration about the will of God and making decisions from Stand to Reason. In the bible we fine that God has a clear Moral will, a Sovereign will but never a specific personal will for each of us. Thus, factors like wisdom and our own personal likes, dislikes and desires interplay to help us make good decisions. I need to use these ideas more when I make decisions. How about you?
