This is a list of items for an innovative church from the blog-- the Gospel driven church. The red words are my comments on my own church.
1. Sing hymns.
Well, my church do STILL sing hymns.
2. Preach through a book of the Bible.
This... well... sigh...
3. Talk about sin.
Sometimes...
4. Celebrate the Lord's Supper more frequently.
Once a month...
5. Have a Scripture reading in the service.
Finally something I can say, YES, we do that!
6. Transition creative content from aping popular commercials and other media to creating your own, wholly original content.
?
7. Read, study, and teach theology.
sigh...
8. Put as much effort and resources into men's ministry as you do women's. On the flipside, pair up younger women with wise, older women in mentoring relationships with the same conviction you have about men being in accountability and mentoring partnerships.
hmm...
9. Hire from within.
ahem... we're doing the exact opposite...
10. In promotional material, use actual photos of actual people in your community.
I have never read the promotional materials...
11. Preach the Gospel.
How do you DEFINE the GOSPEL?? Believe in Jesus, you'll be saved?! Does that count??
