"Most of the time when we think of church, we think of Sunday. But Sunday is really about Monday. If our job as Christians was simply to get together and worship God, we could do that in Heaven. But our job is more than that: that’s why God has us strategically placed right where we are." – John Ortberg, “The Church on Monday Morning” (sermon at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church 3/12/06)
That’s a really great quote!

Now that is a powerful statement. I prayer that we the Church truly grasp it!

Kim – This is a great post! I learned (after many years of defects and stumbles), that Monday morning is where the “rubber meets the road” and that Sunday is only one step towards preparation for Monday, Tuesday, etc.
This is why I believe the best church leaders understand that speaking to people ‘where they actually live’ is so effective.
Love,
Dad
