To be like God
Vibrant churches with spiritual energy are filled with people who understand the true nature of our creation and calling - to be like God. To be like God who is love, who shows grace and compassion, who is not violent, who gives everything away so that all may live abundantly. (See Genesis 1 and Ephesians 4)These churches are learning to live with freedom and hospitality, where all are welcome and included. Constraints of institutional demands and of inherited doctrines and traditions are re-examined with humility and love. These are changing churches.
