Innovation

Amazon has already proven to be one of the most successful, creative, and productive companies in history. Yet they still continue to innovate. There is a drive that exists within them that is not content with being who they were the day before. They seek to become better and find more ways to deliver to more people in more efficient ways. Check out what they are up to in this short video.

This made me think of the way in which Christians are called to be like salt and light. I know that we are the salt and light on this earth but are we effective, efficient, and innovative with how we open the world's eyes to God? Door knocking, Gospel tracts, and a sit and wait attitude are no longer as effective if at all in reaching the world. You need proof? Go look at any Church who rely on those things solely as their mission, most of those churches are literally dying and there won't be members in the building in 15-20 years. I believe that as people of the Stone Campbell tradition we should look to the word for how to reach the lost. Discipleship is built within small communities with people interacting with each other “as they go”. Why be a Church that has settled? Why not start a lunch time Bible study at your place of employment? Why not start a simple prayer chain among your friend group? Why not disciple people through an online game chat while playing COD? The Church is a living organism that grows and should shift with the culture without compromising truth. Come join us this morning as we look into ways in which we can Do More!
