So I had lunch with some friends today and the conversation we had sparked a thought in my head. We were discussion church, they have been searching for years for a church to call home, each time they settle in somewhere, it seems like they find themselves wondering is this really the way church should be? Why is a building important? why does everyone here look like me? Why is everything the same?

These thought resounded with me because of where I have been studying lately. As I have said many times, I am an avid proponent of the Old Testament. To gain a richness to the New Testament a working knowledge of the Old Testament is necessary, even of the sacrifices and tabernacle ordinances. As confusing as they may be, with a proper understanding they lend great understanding of new Testament principles.

We had an interesting conversation that touched on this over lunch…. I’ll just posit the question and see what comes up.

Why does a church need a blog?

I found a link on the Monergism web site to this paper on the God-Driven Church by Dr. Steven Lawson. Good stuff in contrast to the purpose-driven church.

“Man can build a booming church, but only God can build a biblical church.”
