Really, who will live missionally unless THEY chose to do so. No church can Avon lush this unless they have it flooding their spiritual heart to emerge into their life and community harvest field. No amount of human lecturing, preaching, or planning can replace this seminal fact. Is the desire really there in the heart of our people? They don't act because they don't want to.
<block quote>"....we don’t want to give the impression that reigniting apostolic movements can be simply a work of human endeavor. It must be, and is, a work of the Spirit of God. Certainly, we must do our part, but in the end the church exists by the grace, presence, and power of God himself, and to him we must constantly turn if we are going to be the kind of people he wants us to be. Forgive us if we ever give you the impression to the contrary." <block quote>
(Alan Hirsch & David Ferguson. "On The Verge")
