Erwin McManus shared some thoughts in the final A2 session.
This is a paraphrase, but Erwin said: nothing is worse than christianity without Christ. So true! Erwin said the Acts 2 church was full of heresy and immorality. Read Corinthians. He said, "A perfect church is a dead church." It seems like one of the subplots of A2 was a simple reminder that church is messy! If we're really being the church then we'll be dealing with real people with real issues!
I think I'm walking away from A2 with a renewed desire to be more authentic. We need to be a place where people can wrestle with doubt and deal with issues!
FYI. I bumped into Erwin McManus and Steve Saccone as I was checking out of my hotel. Evidently we have the same taste in hotels :) Steve is heading up the Mosaic Alliance.
Really excited about Ethos in New York City, November 27-29.
Check it out.

this is definitely something that i am learning here at LIFT.
to be real and to be grounded
but to still produce awe and wonder
