The Phil Files

In my article this week in Heartlight, I talk about the front porch as a great image, a biblical image, of what the church should be in today’s culture. I’d love to hear your take on the article and also on a couple of questions:

Is this an image we need to help remove the defensive, anti-culture, retreat from society, and elitist thinking that threatens many of our churches today? Hmm … maybe that’s too harsh a judgment on today’s churches … what do you think?

And what do you think about seeing ourselves as God’s front porch to a culture hungry for Jesus and yet turned off by what they think churches stand for?
