Church Transfusion (Changing Your Church Organically--From the Inside Out)

Just as our life is in our blood, the life for Christ’s bodyis in His blood. Changing a church is more than a new goal ordirection. Our churches need more than an organizationaltransition; we need a full transfusion of Jesus'blood, His life, within every disciple. Anything less than thatwill only perpetuate more of the dysfunction and unhealthy churchpractices that have already plagued us for too long. We are indesperate need of the internally transforming power of the gospelof grace and the presence of Christ so that our salvation is thenworked out in a way the rest of the world will notice. Itisn’t enough that we believe in the facts contained in thegospel, we must allow the gospel itself to infect our souls andtransform us from within. The DNA of Jesus' lifeblood is needed inour churches and nothing shy of a full transfusion that touchesevery cell will be sufficient.
