Ministry is changing. There is a church in the Denver area called Scum of the Earth Church. I'm not kidding. Their website is www.scumoftheearth.net. The name comes from I Corinthians 4:13 in reference to the ministry of apostles: 'We have become, and are still, like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things.'
The church is ten years old and has about 200 people who call it home, mostly young adults. The messages on their website are by a lot of different people on subjects people wants to know about today ... homosexuality ... submission ... why do bad things happen? ... temperance ... eros vs. agape love ... judging ... female sexuality ...
They encourage skeptics and seekers.
Their largest service happens on Sunday night, where they gather for a meal in the middle of the service. The smaller, morning service begins with breakfast together.
They are not a cult. They are not radicals - except that they radically love Jesus and those who are far from Him. Ministry in 2011 and beyond.
And be blessed.
