Quotes from Who Broke My Church?

After analyzing several hundred churches during the last several decades, it is clear that many Christians are surviving, not thriving. Christians are overcome with maintenance of the mundane and are anemic in the movement of mission. Many of the faith communities we call church are, in fact, plateaued or declining and aging.

Most Christians — and most churches — suffer from Kingdom culture drift. Kingdom culture is the spiritual and non-negotiable climate of a church. This culture is found in Jesus’ teaching about the Kingdom of God. The power of your church depends on who you are and who you become. This changes everything. The Apostle Paul wrote, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by a renewal of your mind” (Romans 12:2).

...when God revitalizes His movement in any area of the world, it begins with those who have holy discontent…. Those with holy discontent are the ‘early adopters’ of a move of God: spiritual seeds that represent the organic start of a coming harvest — if they are cultivated and nurtured.

Much of Kingdom culture is counterintuitive. Most everything Jesus says when He begins, ‘The Kingdom of God is like…’ is not the way humans normally understand the world. Jesus did say, ‘My Kingdom is not of this world.’ Get that? Your spiritual life is not like this world. Your church is not like this world. It is not supposed to be like this world.
