We're in trouble, but!

We're in trouble, the American Church is in trouble. But we defend her anyway, even at the expense of a new God ordained - God breathed ministry.

The new doesn't replace the old, it just goes beyond and in a direction with freedom that the old can never and would never allow. As God does His work in both it is in the new that God will do what the old cannot and will not allow. Entire generations will be reached in the new.

It's time to give up the people, the money, the security and release the remnant to join God in doing a new work to reach generations the old wine skin will not and cannot reach in her present form. The new and the old cannot coexist. One demands geographical boundaries and the other demands total freedom with no geographical boundaries.

We are in trouble. We are in greater trouble if we try to grasp or hold tightly to that which God always wants to hold loosely and that is the PEOPLE, the Church. The greatest threat to this God ordained free flowing, Holy Spirit led, disciple making movement, is the American Church, that is unless she will bless and release her.

Try to hold the new back and you lose her and the blessing of what could have been.
