Just a little bit of what Andrew believes...

I agree with George Barna who writes "The church that does not take seriously the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist."

I believe that biblical community starts with being real with each other.

I believe that the church will soon die if we do not start to actually love people.

I believe that loving people is not giving them food and a nice pat on the back.

I believe that loving people is not beating them with the gospel.

I believe that loving people means that we love them, care for them, and are real with them.

I believe that you cannot separate the Great Commission and Great Commandment. When we do, we are not being the church that Christ has intended for us to be.

I believe that the Gospel is ineffective if love is not the primary motive behind its proclamation.

As I look into the church I see complacency, not compassion

I believe that the church will not gain respect until we have become a rescue for the hurting.

I believe people are tired of religion.

love God. love people.
