Quotable – Ed Stetzer
Posted by Quotable in IMPACT Features
So many I spoke with desire to reach out to churches of different ministry paradigms. That is good news. Now, my only hope is that it is not too late.
Actually, that is not right. It is too late for many. We have preached out a whole generation of contemporary church pastors and they won’t return. However, there is hope to connect with some who are still open and willing … And the scores of men planting culturally relevant churches (contemporary, urban, emerging, etc.) and many more seeking to revitalize plateaued churches give me hope for a future of biblically sound and missiologically diverse SBC congregations in North America. We will always be a convention of primarily traditional churches, and I am so thankful for them, but I am encouraged that there may be room at the table for other biblically faithful expressions of church and ministry.
