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.
