A few quotes from the book, Church in the Making by Ben Arment:
"Are you planting the church your community needs?
If you do the right thing in the wrong season, you get zero results.
Every church thinks their friendly. They’re not.
Sociology can be just as important to a church planter’s plight as theology.
Repentance is hard enough without having to jump through hoops we create.
The truth is every church plant contextualizes for a particular culture. It just might not be the culture around it. Or the same era…Every church contextualizes. The only question is to which culture.
The minute your congregation decides to exist for itself, the church is dead.
"The church was never meant to be the point of the Gospel, but rather the Gospel was meant to be the point of the church."
