About This Quote
The difference between the church of the future and the church of today is that we need to stop plotting the course and instead just land the plane on our plans to make a difference by getting to the “do” part of faith. The church today is too often living in what I call "Faith Futures." The church of tomorrow will be stretched out on our knees, not only in prayer but also in action. There will be no more "Faith Futures" but rather “Do Futures." The future must be shaped by the present.
