First Century Roots

So much of what I am hearing (and, so far, this meeting is way more spiritually encouraging and helpful) is to remember the basics of evangelism and missions. I think this would go very deep in how we do church if we were honest. What would happen if we all got really honest, divested ourselves of our “favorite” ministries, programs, activities, or gathering, and took a God-directed evaluative look at whether or not these things were reaching non-believers and/or producing life change in believers? I think it would be very uncomfortable, but it would be very good for us in the long run. I don’t know what things might get dropped from our church schedule, but I am sure that we would see radical change in the way we do a lot of what we do. When we think of roots, we need to go back to the first century. What made a difference then? Read the Book.
