Subject: purpose driven? |
Bible Note: Greetings Doc! But, you did imply that because a book was sold at Wal-mart that is must be theologically shallow! :-) It is hard to discuss books in general. I would recommend that you present specific parts of 'The Purpose Driven Church' that you disagree with and then we can discuss them. My points, in general, has simply been: 1) Just because a church is growing does not mean it is shallow! 2) Just because a book is popular does not mean it is false. 3) A small church is not, by definition, more spiritual than a large church. As for the specifics of the book, I found it very helpful and would highly recommend it for every pastor and church leader. The 'purposes' that it deals with are definintely Scriptural. Unless, you are prepared to say that worship, teaching, evangelism, discipleship, and fellowship are unBiblical! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
