More from McNeal

Posted Apr 11, 10:23 PM | 0 comments | by Editor | Link

Reggie McNeal did a one-day seminar yesterday on the future of the church, and Marty Duren has posted a summary of “Nuggets from McNeal,” including:

• “The missional church is the most radical re-sorting of Christians since the Reformation. Those who are missional have more in common with those in other tribes than with those in their own tribe who don’t get it.”


• “The church is not the destination; the kingdom is the destination. Jesus does not say, ‘Thy church come.’ He spends 40 days before His ascension teaching about the kingdom. Acts closes with the kingdom. Jesus uses ‘church’ twice, but ‘kingdom’ 90 times. When the kingdom breaks out, things change. People’s lives get radically re-altered; their entire worlds get re-ordered.”


• “In 1900, 80% of Christians were white, Western, northern hemisphere. In 2000, 80% were non-white, non-Western and southern hemisphere. The kingdom is breaking out all over.”


• “The church in North America is not like the Pharisees—we are the Pharisees, and Jesus does not like Pharisees.”


• “The ‘post-congregationalist’ category is at 5% of the population and will go to 30% in the next 20 years.”
