what did i walk away with?
tough questions. tough reflections. some thoughts...
[old question] when you die will you go to heaven?
[new question] when you die will you be remembered?
do we [pastors] have authentic, growing relationships with Christ SO THAT others can have authentic, growing relationships with Christ?
if so, do we bother to tell anyone?
overarching questions: what is the role of evangelism in the church today? that is, what does evangelism look like? what are the roadblocks/challenges? what are the successes? who does evangelism? how many church activities are outward focused vs. inward focused? do we tell others how we came to Christ? how much of our church budgets are focused on local outreach/mission? what events/programs are we doing that are outreach focused?
and finally, how do we appropriately celebrate and affirm those things we are already doing? that is, how can we do those things in which we already excel better or with more frequency?
