Noteworthy Quote – think about it!

Christians in America are quickly finding more meaning in not-so-structured times of fellowship and dwelling in the word. Younger Christians are no longer attracted to locations; they are looking for authenticity. Seems like old burned out Christians aren’t looking for anything other than to be left alone. Maybe a better approach to evangelism is needed. Instead of “Come to our building and meet our cool new preacher” we might should try something like, “We are a small group of Christians being shaped in the image and likeness of Christ.” — Jeff Christian, “Little Pink Houses,” The Empty Pulpit, 17 June 2010
