Rarely do you see churches that are missionally focused quibbling over trivial pursuits. Those churches evaluate their ministries in light of missional outcomes.
Those who RESIST such an idea - or see these as somehow contradictory to Pentecostal tradition - should be reminded of Assemblies of God history.
Fundamental Truth No. 10 (there are 16 total): "The Church and Its Mission."
- "To be an agent of God for evangelizing the world."
- "To be a corporate body in which man may worship God."
- "To be a channel of God's purpose to build a body of saints being perfected in the image of His Son."
Being missional embraces ALL of God's purposes in fulfilling His mission on earth. What do you say? Missional or Not-Missional?
And be blessed.
