This blog is devoted to hearing God, even through the noise of life. It is in those simple and quiet moments that God seems to speak the loudest. My prayer is that as I share the moments that God passes by in my life, that you will look for these moments in your own life. Moments you can share so others can begin to hear the whisper. (1 Kings 19:9-18)

Why Church?
I am reading through the Book, "Breaking the Missional Code" by Ed Stetzer and David Putman. Chapter 4 starts out with this question: "Why did God create and choose this institution called 'church'?"
This was a stop you in your tracks question for me yesterday. I read that question yesterday morning. I did not read any further. And I have been thinking about it ever sense.
Every church leader needs to wrestle with this question. The answer to this question will define the purpose of every leader in the church. The answer to this question will probably be a difficult pill to swallow, because we will find out that maybe we have been doing church wrong for a very long time. The answer to this question will challenge you to rethink the role of the church in your life and in the life of the community.
Think about this question for a while. I would like to know the answer you come up.
