gaining-by-losingWe’ve always been fascinated by the number of Christian ideals that are kind of upside down. Church leaders, here’s yet another one: If you want the Kingdom to grow, one of the best things you can do is give your people away. If you don’t believe it, just order the book, “Gaining by Losing,” by J.D. Greear. In it, Greear unpacks ten plumb lines that you can use to reorient your church’s priorities around God’s mission to reach a lost world. The good news is that you don’t need to choose between gathering and sending. Effective churches can, and must, do both. (Thanks Rob!)
