Is the planting of new churches the defining model of Great Commission faithfulness in this generation? That question is asked by Tim Stafford in an article published by Christianity Today. In "Go and Plant Churches of All Peoples," Stafford suggests that the church planting movement has supplanted more traditional forms of evangelism.
"We're excited and committed to church planting. It's the cutting edge." This is how Stafford summarized what he heard from leaders in a range of evangelical denominations.
This is what I constantly hear on our seminary campus as well. This generation of young pastors is increasingly focused on the planting of new churches. Stafford suggests that this is due, in part, to frustration with older approaches. North America is becoming more secularized and evangelistic efforts are falling behind.[continued at Albert Mohler Radio]
