Criticism is part of church planting...today I heard from one of our elders. He had recently talked with a mutual friend, someone I had really invested in over the years. This friend proceeded to make the point clear that we are going to fail with this church plant. It's amazing how those who are "good people" can be so negative about reaching people for Jesus and how narrow minded they can be when it come to churches that are outside of the box.
You know what...the criticism is so worth it....because people are going to find Jesus at Church at the Falls and then it will all be worthwhile. People are going to come to a movie theatre and find Jesus...I know for all you traditional church people...that just sounds preposterous. If we only reach one person for Jesus....well...it will be so worth it. By the way, for all the traditional church people, I am thankful for your church...I don't think we have the corner on church. We are only one way of doing church and we will celebrate what God has called us to do.
Church at the Falls has a place for you. Join us in 2 weeks, April 1. See you there.
