“You’re not done until you’re dead.” Craig Groeschel
What if we could recover the sense of “eldership” promoted in this video in our local churches amongst our seasoned generations? What an amazing way to re-purpose and honor a group’s wisdom, experience, presence and voice to stand with those who are in situations that are rife with risk, discomfort, pain and suffering.
A church that doesn’t provoke any crises, a gospel that doesn’t unsettle, a word of God that doesn’t get under anyone’s skin, a word of God that doesn’t touch the real sin of the society in which it is being proclaimed–what gospel is that? Very nice, pious considerations that don’t bother anyone, that’s the way many would like preaching to be. Those preachers who avoid every thorny matter so as not to be harassed, so as not to have conflicts and difficulties, do not light up the world they live in.
A Gospel that Unsettles, Oscar Romero
