A different view on "mission"

"Some people actually believe that God is absent from a place until they get there. The problem with this idea is that if God is not there before you get there,then there is no "there" in the first place.

"So the issue isn't so much taking Jesus to people who don't have him, but going to a place and pointing out to the people there the creative,life-giving God who is already present in their midst."

Rob Bell

Just something to think about :)

    Yes, I love that quote - I've thought about that many times before, but Rob Bell puts it in a way that makes sense to everyone.

    I see they've made it so you can't spam these as easily. Good.
