The following quote is from Bob Roberts, pastor of Northwood in Keller, Texas. We attended there briefly at the end of 2004 and into 2005. I won’t go into great detail about Bob…there’s too much to say, but I found this to be intriguing. It’s from his blog:

OK, you believers out there, let’s talk about God just a minute. Always go one step beyond your end goal. Instead of evangelism, it’s transformation because for transformation to take place evangelism becomes a given that must be expected of everyone, and, in addition, you impact society. Instead of proclamation, think engagement. When you engage, proclamation will not only be important but will form the corpus of what you proclaim that leads to mobilization. Instead of church, think society. I’ve discovered that often I’ve had up the wrong scoreboard. What I was counting was fine, but what God was counting was something all together different. Pray for us. Two days of academic lectures from sun-up to sun-down. Life is difficult!

Here’s the actual post.

Cheers.
