“Churches need to be intentional about reaching the next generation by ...” — Tony Evans Quote

Churches need to be intentional about reaching the next generation by creating templates for young people to see that there is a stepping stone for leadership in this church.

God is not asking you to be anything other than what he's made you, as long as you submit to how he has made you, to how you relate to other people who he has made different than you.

We need a right view of the cross. It is both a historical event that can take us to Heaven and a current event that can bring Heaven to bear on Earth.

We're going to have to become very aggressive in addressing justice issues that have to do with fairness and doing that which is equitable and honoring to God.

The church saves sinners, but science seeks to stop their manufacture.

We realize there is no political party or politician who fully takes into consideration the issues the church is about. This is nothing new to us.

The Church is the new creation, it is life and joy, it is the sacramental fellowship in which we share the ultimate purpose of God, made real for us now in our hearing the Word and sharing the Sacrament.

I know that those of us who go into church work are to regard ourselves as servants, are to offer our lives as a gift.

It's a touchy subject, but as a Southerner, you can't ignore our history any more than a Renaissance painter can ignore the Virgin Mary. And it's impossible to drive down a road or eat a vegetable or pass a church without being reminded of slavery.
