The last 4 Sundays we have engaged the scriptures from the opening chapters of Acts, and learned how the early church was pushed forward into new avenues. It got me wondering over the last many weeks about the kinds of ways churches are moving forward, staying put, or falling backward. The Gospel was never intended to sit still and be content with where it landed. The Gospel moves, advances and pursues. Do churches follow that lead, or do churches stay put for fear of the unknown places the Gospel is going? I suspect that’s something to think about.
