A thought rattling around in my spirit.

I have a theory about West Michigan. I think that people generally in West Michigan believe that they understand Christianity and the church. Therefore, we need to reveal a Christianity and church that they don't understand.

This is what we see in the book of Acts in the New Testament. The church was so generous, so selfless, and breaking down all kinds of walls that it became magnetic.

I dream of the day we see the church being an alternative transformation community that becomes magnetic. I dream of the day that the way we live together makes people shake their heads and wonder if they have been misled regarding being a follower of Jesus.

So here is my little statement again,
"People believe they understand Christianity and the Church. We must show them Christianity and the Church they do not understand."

I have a dream,
