The Church As a Business? Part II

Here you will find part II of the aforementioned story.

Key takeaways:

1) What it is the antidote to seeing the church as a business?  Become familiar with the book of Galatians.  Luther was deeply impacted by this epistle and it served to guide his ministry.

2) Become familiar with the Reformation doctrine of vocation (here he cites Os Guinness but others could be consulted as well).

3) Understand the culture instead of trying to "engage the culture".  Why?  The culture isn't interested in dialog with the church.
