So many Christians I meet today, whether in person, on social networks, or through emails, tell me that they are living in a spiritual wilderness. They feel alone, spiritually isolated, and they don’t have too many Christian friends that they are ...

Deep Ecclesiology

What follows is the afterword in From Eternity to Here. To my mind, it’s one of the most important parts of the book. So I’m publishing it here.

Note that PTM has a small number of copies of “From Eternity to Here,” “Reimagining Church,” and “Finding Organic Church” for bloggers to review on their blogs.

If you are interested in one of these titles to review for your blog, email Jeanette at PTMIN@aol.com, put “blogger review” in the subject line, and then give her your blog url and your mailin… Continue

Kingdom Confusion: Part II

Kingdom Confusion: Part II

I’d like to continue our series on "Kingdom Confusion" as promised. You can read Part I on this site or at www.frankviola.wordpress.com/

In this post, I wish to address a somewhat popular cliché that I think misses the mark on what the New Testament (NT) teaches concerning the kingdom of God.

Here's the cliché: "Jesus mentioned the church only twice; but he mentioned the kingdom over 100 times. So He really doesn't care about the church as much as He does the kingdo… Continue

Kingdom Confusion: Part I

The following interview was done by Chad Crawford over at Homebrewed Christianity. In it, I speak about the kingdom of God a bit.

Next week, I’ll be blogging about the kingdom in a more focused way. And I’ll be taking dead aim at the present “kingdom vs. church” fad … where the kingdom is pitted against the church.

Note to all blog readers: This Friday is going to be open-phones. So stayed tuned!

Tomorrow (Wednesday) or Thursday, I’ll let you all know when the ReChurch Library launches.

Discipleship, Mission, and Church: A Plea to Learn Our History

“Discipleship” and “missional.”

These are the two big buzzwords on the Christian landscape today. Of course, there is also “simple church.” But that’s another discussion for another time.

As I speak in conferences throughout the world and meet people who have jumped on the discipleship bandwagon, or the missional bandwagon (or both), I make several observations.

Two Streams of Missional

There seems to be two different streams in the missional world:

1)Those who are stuck with D.L. Moody’s m… Continue
