Thoughts on Church

As many of you know, Maria and I are looking to try and plant a church plant in southern San Diego County after I finish up at Fuller. The reality of actually looking forward to a church plant has brought me to an interesting place: the "where the rubber meets the road" kind of place. 

See, in the last two and a half years at Fuller has caused me to think quite about about the church in light of all that I have read about it in Scripture and the works of a lot of really smart people. Also, I've been having several conversations lately with some good friends  about the church, and I'm beginning to reach a somewhat alarming conclusion - namely, that reading the Scriptures seem to indicate that the church is called to be much more radical than I have ever realized! So my hope is to do several blog posts (we'll see how this goes with the end of the quarter approaching) on some of the different facets of church I have been considering and how I think it will affect our approach to planting a church. 

I think I'll go ahead and do the first area now in a different post.
