“The church is not here to meet our needs. We are the church here to meet the needs of the world.”
Erwin McManus
Reading this was a great reminder that though I'm believing more than ever that the church needs to equip/nurture people towards greater spiritual formation and encourage real communion among the people - we are a missional church, a community sent by God for the world, for his glory, to be God's living and local presence where ever we live - in any culture, any generation. Mission is why we exist (actually we exist for God's glory, but the interesting thing is that Jesus brought glory to God by doing his will; John 17)
