Total Church
Posted by justicetabernacle on June 11, 2009
reading through sections of a book called ‘total church’ by tim chester and steve timmis. we got it as a free gift from the advance 09 conference.
check out this line- i think about this all of the time, but it was articulated perfectly here:
“Indeed part of our evangelism to the rich is our evangelism to the poor. We subvert their preoccupation with power and success as they see us loving the unlovely. We expose their self-righteousness and selfishness as they see us eating with outcasts. They begin to see Jesus living through us.” (pg. 73)
this is like spillover blessing, when reaching out to those seen as marginalized in society. it is like a double portion of Kingdom effectiveness, as the Holy Spirit is allowed to work efficiently in these instances.
