That I think is grappling with the questions you raise and is beginning to make a difference.

I’ve heard about people having church in bars which includes drinking but is a huge leap from becoming a drunk. 

And you forgot a step, you live it. That’s how you get wisdom and peace from God by putting his teachings into practice. Not by excluding yourself away with some book. The Bible without practice is empty and useless.

And that’s the danger. The Communist believe that separating a people from their past will subjugate their present and future. Best thing to do is read the Bible; learn it, study it, absorb it, memorize it. That’s how you’ll get the wisdom you need to discern. Otherwise you’ll only be confused and lost in your own human reasoning.

I’m also not sure that what you are talking about it what I’m referring to when I say “missional.”

You can spend some time reading through this website and learning what I mean by “missional.” Here’s a good place to start: http://www.chrismorton.info/2011/02/07/6-charges-from-the-guy-who-coined-the-term-missional/

The point is I do want to engage. The word Missional is a made up word. Brian MaClaren mixes mysticism with Christianity. Did you know that? You’ll never know, find, nor have the ability to carry out any mission God gives you without His word.
