Is Christ the Center in Your Life?

John H. Armstrong April 17th, 2012

Tweet

One of the chapters in my widely-discussed book, Your Church Is Too Small, is taken from the title of a book by the famous German theologian and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer: Christ the Center. I argue that the Christian faith is first about Christ. "Who do you say that I am?" asked Jesus. Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Trends That Call Us to Understand Our Mission Differently

John H. Armstrong December 27th, 2011

Tweet

There is a continual danger that the church will be driven by various cultural and social trends. Evangelical churches are the most susceptible to this danger. "Trendier than thou" is a real problem when our vision of discipleship is stunted and becomes consumer oriented. Given the great desire to reach people with the good news we can easily adapt our methods and approaches in ways that are inconsistent with our message.

Having acknowledged this real problem … (Read More)
