Quotes and summary
“We live in a world today that desperately want to see the church be the church.”
“People don’t want to give anything to a church just to help them flush the toilets and turn on the lights. But if you can show them that you are changing the world, then they will make substantial sacrifice.”
They are not building a church that “is for everybody.” They are building a church of sold out followers of Christ. They seek God, and want seekers to see them seeking God, but they want the guy cheating on his wife to be uncomfortable, and the unbeliever to feel like something out of this world is happening at Crossroads.
