You Can Impact the World

"It sounds idealistic, I know. Impact the world. But doesn't it also sound biblical? ... The formal definition of impact is "a forcible contact between two things," and God has designed our lives for a collision course with the world."

Leadership Vehicle

"The church is the vehicle God has chosen to use to raise up leaders for his work in the world. Over the past centuries, we have allowed the church to move to the sidelines, and we are now lamenting the results. Churches all over the world suffer from a serious leadership vacuum. Participating in the process of building churches that build leaders is potentially the most fruitful and fulfilling work you will ever do."

Liberal Christian Missionaries

"Some liberal Christians have assumed a kind of reverse mission: instead of being the church's missionaries to the world, they have become the world's missionaries to the church."
