mass production

Remember PERFECT STRANGERS? Used to watch that show. I remember going to Chicago the first time waiting to see the same view from the intro of the show.



On a more serious note. This clip reminds me of the struggle churches have in making disciples. We want to do it fast and efficient - almost cookie cutter like. Hoping that the quicker we do it the more people we can add to the list.

Few parts stand out at me:
1. Larry: "We've got to think mass production"; Balki: "Stop talking about religion"
2. The insanity of the process is not creating the intended results.
3. there's lots of fun we miss when we get too caught up in efficiency (aka, the dance)

Think about your own life:

How is Character built?
How do you grow into the kind of person God intends you to be?
How do you develop relationships and community that is meaningful?
How can we nurture spiritual dynamics in people?

Certain programs are good, but key environments and life on life relationships can't be substituted when we want to develop into Christ followers - as well as other important characteristics of life.
