GL + RR + GC = MI

A helpful formula from Pastor Darrin Patrick of The Journey Church in St. Louis:

Gospel Life + Relational Rent + Gospel Clarity = Missional Impact

"Gospel Life" = I allow the gospel to saturate every aspect of my life.

"Relational Rent" = I "pay the rent" relationally with lost people.  I am a friend of sinners (Luke 7).

"Gospel Clarity" = I clearly articulate the gospel to those around me.

"Missional Impact" = Gospel fruit is seen in the lives of the people I encounter.

Make disciples!

"Make disciples" (Matt. 28:19) is a command of Jesus that requires action not just thought. Quit talking about it and do it!

You can change the world!

What would the world be like if every Christian realized and embraced the power of God's Spirit within them?  How would it change the way we lived our lives?  Alan Hirsch has some good things to say about it!
