A friend of mine once said that Christians are like manure: spread them out and they help everything grow better, but keep them in one big pile and they stink horribly. Which are you? The kind that reeks, around which people walk a wide swath? Or the kind that trusts God enough to let Him spread you out--whether that means going outside your normal group of Christian friends, increasing your material giving, or using your time to serve others?--Francis Chan, Crazy Love
Had a chance to read this book last week and shared this quote from the final chapter on Sunday. I definitely feel the tension of not allowing myself to "pile up" and be insulated within the confines of the "church." One might think it'd be easy to not be "confined" since we don't have a church facility, but that is not the case. It's like everything wars against mission and I am realizing the continual need for intentionality.
