Recently the Nazarene big-wigs (that is, our denominational leadership) proclaimed a new and improved mission statement. One for today's "over communicated world". Simple but not simplistic...did anyone feel the earth move?
Don't get me wrong. I like the direction this mission statement points us toward. In fact, I've been headed that direction for a long time. But will it shake down to make any difference in the trenches? I guess that's up to me. As a pastor, I'm going to have to unpack it and build meaning into it for my friends.
Anyway, it is quite a lovely banner, don't you think?

Like it!
Like "Make disciples" as opposed to converts or members.
Like "Christlike" as opposed to orthodox.
Like the fact that Jesus said it.
Seems like there is a movement afoot in Christianity to re-focus on Jesus himself as the source and goal of all we do.
Could be exciting.
