The American church feels it is embattled, thus it is thriving.
Require higher commitments.
Gospel preached as separated from life (prayer prayer). An individualized gospel of sun management – Dallas Willard.
Scott McKnight- we get what we preach. How we live shows be gospel we responded to.
Convocation. Contributes to the coming kingdom. Umber, janitor, teacher and using those to brig the kingdom.
Mosaic generation feels the church is sexually repressive. Mosaics don’t want to shy away about the real issues of life.
Overprotection. “Parents need for control is more about needs they are trying to fill”
If the frontal lobe isn’t fully developed, what should we expect from emerging adults? What do we do when people people are becoming sexually developed at age 11 but are not getting married until 25?
“We have to think of our standards of sexuality framed with this special situation?”
What can the church do to correctly communicate the gospel message?
Share your mistakes!
Recognize all the work we do with another culture gaining trust, learning their language and making sure we convey the right metaphors. But be true to who we are, but be honest that we are trying to share our story.
We must be radically hospitable while also being so committed to orthodoxy, uncompromisingly Christian.
Wesley said our faith is how we live. Even the demons believe and shudder. Mosaics seem to believe more subjective ideas. “We don’t get why a post modern perspective…that is a language we don’t speak”. Mosaics don’t enjoy people coming out guns a blazing. do you really want to make a difference? Speak in such a way you would like go have a conversation.
