Comments on: Emerging Angle: The Meaning of Emerging http://www.mosaicalliance.com/leadership/emerging2/ Mon, 06 Feb 2012 23:43:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Christian Eskelund http://www.mosaicalliance.com/leadership/emerging2/#comment-841 Christian Eskelund Thu, 13 Mar 2008 23:37:38 +0000 http://mosaicalliance.com/leadership/the-emerging-church/#comment-841 There are always the "lemons" out there. Any time anyone wants to break traditional moulds, or simply to do things a bit differently, somebody out there gets sour about it, regardless of whether the movement is beneficial or not. Often said "lemons" haven't even bothered to take a proper look at what they see fit to heap criticism upon. At least, though, these often hypocritical critics can help us take a careful look at ourselves again - help us judge where we are: under law or under grace. Are we the sons and daughters of God or not? Are we being led by God's Spirit? May you keep hearing the Spirit of God, Erwin. Thank you for imparting what God is giving to you. I am currently reading your book "An Unstoppable Force" among other inspirational writings from Christian leaders, as I seek guidance on Christian leadership, and I find that my love for God is only encouraged, and my expectation that He is leading me exactly where He wants me has been increased. The scriptures teach us that a tree is know by its fruit. Well I see good fruit being produced through what God is doing with you. Be encouraged. There are always the “lemons” out there.

Maybe a fear that "the way we have always done it before" is falling behind the shadows of "the way we are going to do it now!" Change, at best is difficult. I visited the Mosaic in LA a few months ago - I was actually quite surprised that it was very much like "church" to me. I had been so pumped with this "fear factor" expecting the Mosaic to be more like a monster. I am glad to know now that we are in the same family! And, I'm looking forward to partnering with you. Blessings to you! The rub? Maybe a fear that “the way we have always done it before” is falling behind the shadows of “the way we are going to do it now!” Change, at best is difficult.
