"Contrary to what we've been hearing, our greatest need as 21st century churches is not structural but spiritual. Our main problem is not that we're culturally out of touch; it's that we're theologically out of tune. We need to remember that God has established His church as an alternative society, not to compete with or copy this world, but to offer a refreshing alternative to it. When we forget this, we inadvertently communicate to our culture that we have nothing unique to offer, nothing deeply spiritual or profoundly transforming. Tragically, this leaves many in our world looking elsewhere for the difference they crave."
