God is a missionary.
God is at work
in the world to
reconcile all nations.
The church by its
very nature
is missionary (missional) .
The missional church
views mission as definitive
of what the church is
because the church is
a product of and participant
in God's mission.

Hey, Tony! I thought of you and so read your latest postings. On this one I'm reminded of a discussion from this last Tuesday on Ezekiel 34 where God is pictured as shepherd. Considering what a shepherd does, and the low status of shepherds in Bible stories, we discern a picture of a hands-on God. As Jesus said, my Father is at work to this very day, and so I work. Be blessed! -Glen
