Hey Darrin, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I am amazed that this post still brings in a lot of hits. Anyway, I think the mission of the church is reaching people: heart, mind, body and soul with the good news of the kingdom. I believe that feeding the poor without proclaiming the good news that God is restoring the world in Jesus Christ falls short of the gospel. Likewise, I believe that proclaiming the good news that God offers hope of restoration in Christ, without also feeding the poor and ministering to peoples’ bodies also falls short of being the gospel. The gospel at its best has profound implications for for how we conduct our whole lives, how we pray, worship, think, eat, drink, how we conduct ourselves as sexual beings and on and on. I am fond of saying that Christianity is the most materialistic of all the world’s religious traditions, but it is materialistic in an appropriate way. The belief in and hope of the resurrection reminds us that God offers hope of holistic redemption.

Grace and Peace,
wayne

I stumbled upon your blog today, after researching this “U2christ” that I only heard of this weekend. I guess I’ve been living under a rock. Anyway, after reading alot of what is posted here, as a fellow brother in Christ, I think alot of people are missing the point of what the true mission of the church is. It is to win souls for the Kingdom of God! It is not about taking a worldly person, and infusing his views into the body, it is about taking the truth of the Bible and infusing it into the world. All of the talk of humanitarianism is nice and I agree that we are called to that service. However, we can feel all the poor that we want, but if we don’t have a personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, then it is all for naught. The works portion that so many of you speak of is a “by product” of being transformed through the gift of salvation and the power of the Holy Spirit.

I’ve enjoyed reading your blog and pray that your passion to serve Christ never dies.

In Him,

Wayne,

I am just so impressed with this writing. Could you give me a call sometime. Seriously, I’d like to talk. I’m not sure if my number is listed or not. I bet you can figure it out though, you are smart.
