This is the second post of notes from sessions led by Francis Chan at the recent Right Now Conference:
From a session titled, "Redefining Church":
The church must emphasize "one another". Fellowship is important; the church body, the church family. Lego pieces aren't cool on their own. Legos are only cool when put together. That's the problem with the church; when the pieces are put together, they build a body, a family.
I can speak about Jesus but I can show Jesus only in community with other believers.
Jesus' pattern wasn't to change the "big thing" overnight.
Rather than complain, pray and set the example; humbly come under leadership.
Ten year plans seem great but daily walking in the Spirit is biblical.
From a session titled, "Setting the Pace in Love":
People live as if they are afraid they will starve to death. We're not concerned about living, we're concerned about our standard of living.
Today's church is so stoppable.
The church is a God thing; we can't create a movement.
God grants fruit to a man or woman who follows Him.
