Why We’re Planting a Church

I posted this at the Liberty Grace Church blog a few months back, but it’s probably worth repeating here.

These are not the reasons we’re planting a church:

• because it’s cool

• as a protest against the established church

• as a form of self-expression

• to prove myself

• to make a fresh start

If I planted for these reasons, I would quit in no time.

These are the reasons why we’re planting a church:

• for God’s glory

• for the thousands of people who need to hear about Jesus

Whenever I begin to waver, I remind myself why we’re planting a church.

By the way, we’re holding a prayer walk on Sunday. I’d love to have you join us.
