It is problematic when church that concentrates more on internal matters, valuing its own comfort and customs above outreach and community engagement.
Good news. You have the Holy Spirit. Pray for discernment. Allow God to give you wisdom and grant you favor. Get on God’s timetable. Move to simple as God leads. Use wisdom and compassion in becoming a simple church.
The church’s job is to place people in the pathway of God’s transforming power–to design a process that partners with the transformation process revealed in Scripture. Only God does the transforming.
Focus is the commitment to abandon everything that falls outside of the simple ministry process.
