I think as a church planter, looking to just survive, planters are often tempted to cave in, thinking it won't really change the vision. I know for us, having a couple people committed to evangelism and the philosophy of ministry that we have, made all the difference. When one of us was tempted to add precept, or turn down the music, or whatever - the other helped hold our ground. I'd much rather deal with, by the way, people smoking in the parking lot, then people blowing smoke about how spiritual they are, and how "deep" we are not (even though they couldn't give two hoots about people who are sitting all around them, who are disconnected from Jesus).journeypaulwww.paulurban.blogs.comnoreply@blogger.com
