Een kerk die evolueert...

The problem is that the church that fails to change fails to impact the culture of change.
It becomes a dinosaur, a memorial to a world that no longer exists.
So, on the one hand, while it protects those within its walls from overwhelming stress, on the other hand, it becomes biblically and spiritually irrelevant.
That which is to be the salt of the earth turns tasteless, and its light flickers dimly if at all.
Aubrey Malphurs, Pouring New Wine Into Old Wineskins, pg. 88
