It's hard to quantify or classify this, but the intangible litmus testwhen it comes to churches is this: is it life-giving? What do I mean by that? I simply mean the worship and the message and the relationshipsbreathe life into your soul. I'm assuming it's Bible-believing andChrist-centered. I'm assuming theological orthodoxy. When you walk out of church, do you feel more full of life?
Jesus said, "I came that they might have life and have it more abundantly." That was his mission. And missional churches are life-giving churches. Not sure how else to say it. And I'm not sure it's something we even know how to wrap our words around. But you know whether a church is life-giving or not. And I think it determines whether you want to go back again.
