The Church as its True Self – Alan Hirsch
"When the church is in mission, it is the true church. The church itself is not only a product of
that mission but is obligated and destined to extend it by whatever means possible. The mission of God flows directly through every believer and every community of faith that adheres to Jesus. To obstruct this is to block God's purposes in and through his people."
