I believe that if we, as followers of Jesus, are truly going to be living radical,
missional lives of purpose, protecting the planet, healing the abused, giving water to the thirsty, feeding the starving, inventing new and better ways of doing things, and leading the way for global change, then every year we should see more and more Christians on this list.
(5) The Christian and the church are created out
of this
missional purpose and, therefore, in it have their being and sense
of identity, source
of religious knowledge, standard
of morality, system
of values, and total directive for
life.
