I stumbled across this post while do...Thanks, Dave. I stumbled across this post while doing some research today and discovered that it was written by you:). It's a good post.<br /><br />I've been thinking a lot about vision lately and feeling that vision in the institutional church has become too proprietory, too man-driven. We have brilliant examples of successful megachurches yet we're loosing North America. It occured to me that authentic spiritual awakening has occured historically in the margins, outside the so-called "successful"institutions. Has our infatuation with megachurch methodologies and neglect of spiritual disciplines put us in a delusional state? I wonder. Having ceased to trust the Holy Spirit, have we settled for turn-key, franchise culture clubs. I keep reading about these successful new churches yet keep meeting pastors and church planters whose churches have failed or are failing. I sometimes wonder if the enemy is letting us have just enough success to keep us distracted. Just thoughts.<br /><br />God's best to you, Dave.John Wallacehttp://www.souljava.orgnoreply@blogger.com
