“Good deeds pave the road over which the Good News travels,” is the theme of Chapter 6. The authors point out on page 116 that Christianity today is often reduced to a set of tenents or a philosophy that “we believe and can defend but don’t necessarily practice.” Convicting words. The chart on page 125 profiles four quandrants that most churches fall into in terms of evangelism and service. Where do you think DCC falls? Where would you plug your own goals, beliefs, foci, and actions?
Chapter 7 boils it all down for us. “If [DCC] picked up and left, how would the city feel? Would anybody even notice? Would anybody care?”
Question: What can we do to get started? What can YOU do?
