Twitter Musings

Some excellent twitter-thoughts from a variety of folk I follow:

Steve Simms @CSteveSimms
When I read the book of Acts & see the passion & joy of early Christianity, I wonder what happened?

“The model we have used — a church, a pastor and a commitment by people to support the enterprise — is getting harder and harder to maintain.” We need to think different ( individually together).  #everydayfaith #simplechurch #musingsofamilkman

What we learn from Christendom is that it was well constructed to create church-goers but not well suited to cultivate Jesus-followers.

Brad Brisco @bradleybrisco
We often wrongly assume the primary activity of God is in the church. But the primary activity of God is in the world, and the church is an instrument created by God to be sent into the world to participate in what God is already doing. #kingdom #missiodei #mission

Foreign missions are not an extra; they are the acid test of whether or not the Church believes the Gospel.

The deepest motive for mission is simply the desire to be with Jesus where he is, on the frontier between the reign of God and the usurped dominion of the devil.

The Kingdom of Jesus does not advance through spin, political maneuvering, manipulation of power, or “taking a stand” for what we believe. Rather, the Kingdom of Jesus advances through subversive acts of love.
