Three Words on the Future of the Church

7/30/2013

0 Comments

 
     Tim Keller had a Q&A on Twitter yesterday in which he was asked this question:  "What would be three adjectives you would use to describe your thoughts about the future of the church in N America? 

He replied:  "Fractured, Marginalized, Hopeful."

     For years, I've heard church leaders obsess about the first two.  We have difficulty getting to the third.  It is counter intuitive to believe that a fractured and marginalized people could be so hopeful.  Some days, I wonder.  What gives me hope is that there have been fractured and marginalized people before us.  God has a way of doing hopeful things with a hapless people.
