The book “Breaking the Missional Code,” which I (don't recommend but) will be discussing tomorrow with my Learner's Community, asks an interesting question which the authors hope will spur pastors and people on to great things. They ask, “What is God doing among the unchurched/unreached?” They say, “It is arrogant to assume that God is not already at work in most places.” Their conclusion is that all we, as the Church, need to do, is find out how and where God is already working in the lives of the unbaptized, and then join him in achieving great things.
Truly, I couldn't think of a more terrible way to go about being missionaries in our community.
In the margins of the book, where I often scribble my comments, arguments and frustrations with a book, in chicken scratches you can find my answer to the question. What is God doing among the unchurched/unreached? “He is killing them.”
