Powerful, powerful wrap up. I have heard that very same message in a few churches, but so few carry it out.

I agree that many of the monoliths of religion have failed Christ and the lost. I don’t, however, believe that the church, in and of itself, is what has gone bad. The message has gone soft and our churches are full of pretend followers of Christ. Being a Christian is considered just another hat to wear, not a life to be lived.

If you guys can just keep the focus on the “Missio Dei” and not think we are called to “save” the material world or question the historical view of Christ, there isn’t any reason for the Fundamentalist and Missional animosities. Political agendas are also not scriptural. Neither is assimilation of pagan religions.

Unfortunately, tares will always be found along with the wheat, whether you look on the street or in the churches. Mr. Frost needs to quit lumping everyone in the traditional churches with the old, cold and dead Church of England and the like. There are still many church-goers that help the homeless, feed the poor, volunteer for missions and are even Republicans!

I’d be much more sympathetic to Missional efforts if I really saw more than just political justice and anti-war demonstrations in the name of Missional. The war against poverty will never be won (John 12:8). Jesus didn’t come to judge or condemn the world, but to save the world FROM Sin. Convert the inner man and everything else gets fixed person by person.
