For months I've been aware of a nagging sense that I need (uh, want to) get back to this blogging thing. I could go on and on about all the change and stresses this year largely due to a major transition in my life moving from one pastoral district to another, but the bottom line is that I've been living with good intentions about blogging yet not "striking any keys". So I realize I need to prime the pump and start something now.
I've recently read Organic Church-Growing Faith Where Life Happens by Neil Cole.
What did I take away from this?
God's kingdom grows in ways that more closely resemble nature's growth principles than the business world's.
Spiritual community's basic unit is 2 or 3.
Church grows naturally where lives are being transformed by God's power in the midst of REAL life.
Something about the message of the book stirs something in me. I'm not sure if it's just a desire or a conviction.
I guess time will tell!

Hi Hanan,
I was intrigued by this statement you made, "God's kingdom grows in ways that more closely resemble nature's growth principles than the business world's." It makes alot of sense...Jesus was often relating the kingdom of heaven to things in the natural world. I'm wondering what Neil Cole says those growth principles are.
Thanks, Emma
