Toolbox
Never has so many people as today seeking the meaning of life, and never has the way to do so been so easy accessed as it is today.
We see a new generation asking questions , searching and hoping.
Searching in new channels.
My friends, that's why we as a church has to be out there, to meet the needs of all these people. We have to be were they are.
In able to reach all this people we need to use all our strength and all our resources. We can't just have one strategy to reach people.
There is a Swedish proverb that says: talk to the farmer so the farmer understand"
I see a church as a toolbox. I don't know if you are a handy man or handy woman but I'm sure you seen a tool box before.
In that toolbox you have different tools for different tasks. You can't use a saw to hammer in a nail, you cant use a screwdriver to cut a plank. You need different tools
It is still one toolbox though.
I can't reach the people you might reach.
We have to work together, with different tools for one purpose and for one God.
Jesus gave us all a task: Go out there and make disciples!
