Will there be any good conferences at SEBTS? You are in my prayers.Matt Snowdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226430967272870040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989602.post-1152284031546855652006-07-07T09:53:00.000-05:002006-07-07T09:53:00.000-05:00Royce,Thank you for your comments.

I think my use of the term stems from a reaction to the nominal religion in "Christian" America. <BR/><BR/>To be quite honest my wife Meredith totally agrees with your comments. I will try be more clear in my language. I hope you will see the wisdom of Perry's comments. Good to hear from you!Matt Snowdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05226430967272870040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989602.post-1152283459215699722006-07-07T09:44:00.000-05:002006-07-07T09:44:00.000-05:00Royce,I think you are "knit picking" but I do unde...Royce,<BR/>I think you are "knit picking" but I do understand your point. However, missional is still an important term to be used. As the term is being applied, it reflects an attitude towards missions that goes beyond the 10% missions of contemporary Churches. (Bapt. esp.) It also reflects a desire to promote a total life committment of everyone to missions. Mission trips are great but they only reflect one week out of the year. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Matt,<BR/>absolutely!! I thought the same thing the other day as many of us found ourselves discussing leadership with Andy Stanley on Tad's leadership blog. However, the impact of the blogs on conv. life is minor compared to the impact that "flattening" of the world is going to have (can)have on global church planting. we are already using local American based churches as the lead strategy coorinators for areas and people groups in India ect. The danger will be in not losing our biblical theological foundations in the process. But when churches and individuals embrace the tech. used for micro-multinational start ups for the cause global missions, then the next reformation will truly be on the way.Perry McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894561540566017903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28989602.post-1152280325554732132006-07-07T08:52:00.000-05:002006-07-07T08:52:00.000-05:00Matt,At the expense of being seen as a "knit picke...Matt,<BR/><BR/>At the expense of being seen as a "knit picker", terms like "missional Christianity" are comical. <BR/><BR/>Any movement that is not "missional" is not Christian is it?Royce Oglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244683471043477041noreply@blogger.com
