I was recently interviewed by a local newspaper to talk about church planting. I spoke with the reporter for about an hour. I talked about our distinctive emphasis on teaching,  namely, Christ-centered teaching and preaching that brings Gospel transformation. I mentioned expository preaching, and I emphasized that we focus on “prayer and the ministry of the word.” Beside getting one or two quotes right, words like “entrepreneurial spirit,” and “business model” found their way in the piece. I don’t know where they came from! I never used them. I did speak about the administrative aspects of establishing a new work. I am not even so bothered by the words “entrepreneurial spirit” if it were defined carefully. But “business model?” I guess the lesson is, make sure you only just talk about Jesus. I certainly talked about Christ and Him crucified throughout, but there was no mention of Him in the piece. You can read the article here.
