Jung People...Question

One of my professors used to query us, and often began with the phrase, “Young people,…question.”

Reggie McNeal, in his book Practicing Greatness, suggests that church leaders need to be asking better questions these days:

Wrong question: How do we “do church” better?
Right question: How do we “be church” better? Or how do we deconvert from churchianity” (institutional religion) to Christianity (the movement)?

Wrong question: How do we grow this church?
Right question: How do we serve this community?

Wrong question: How do we develop ministers for the church?
Right question: How do we develop missionaries to the culture?

Wrong question: How do we develop church members?
Right question: How do we develop followers of Jesus?

Wrong question: How do we plan for the future we see?
Right question: How do we prepare for the future God sees?

Wrong question: How do we develop leaders for church work?
Right question: How do we develop leaders for the Christian movement?

I think he's on to something.
