A great book by Gordon MacDonald called Who Stole My Church chronicles the journey of a small group of people in a church facing change that threatens the intergenerational peace of the congregation. It speaks about the changes that happen overtime as new Christians begin following Jesus in new ways and how churches can seek to keep the mission of God centre of how they operate.

Recently I came across a great quote that said, ‘Unapplied truth is like paint. It doesn’t do anybody any good until it is applied.’ What a great word picture to illustrate what can happen to long-time followers of Jesus if we are not careful.
