So far....

At this point, halfway through our Reggie McNeal series, it might be helpful to highlight some of the main points that we've heard/discussed so far. Here are the ones that have really stood out to me, and you can add your own two cents:

1. At this point, most everyone who wants to be a churched person(based on what they perceive the church to offer) is a churched person.
2. It won't work anymore to plan a perfect service/program/ministry and expect people to just show up. And adding programs isn't the answer either.
3. We're at a point of unprecedented interest in spirituality.
4. We're at a point of unprecedented lack of interest in organized religion(again, based on people's perception of what "organized religion" stands for).
5. We need to focus on the Kingdom instead of the congregation.

Obviously, I've paraphrased, but these are the points that have stood out to me. Please add your two cents, based on Reggie's teachings or our own discussions.
