imagining how the church can reorient around mission

      Dear Jesus, we tremble at the thought of you speaking these words to us. What could be more sobering and tragic than to hear you say, “You talk about me a whole lot, using plenty of spiritual language and Bible quotes. You’re very quick to recognize and correct false teaching. You’re even quite zealous to apply what you know to others. But your heart is very far from me.”

I found this linked on my friend and colleague, Steve Hart's FB. I thought it was important, hopeful and well worth pushing out further.  Thanks Steve (and author, Scotty Smith).
