JKA Smith’s “Desiring the kingdom” Excellent review on church doing Formation vs Information //via @craigadams49

I like this:

Simply equipping Christians with better apologetic, or a confidently different world-view is not enough, because Christian education and development is about formation (or transformation) not information.

Desiring the kingdom: some observations on a good book

I couldn’t find if this guy (Doug Chaplin) has a Twitter handle,  but I have this book,  and it sounds like I need to get into it.   I ordered it a few months ago,  and it’s been on my “stack” of things to read.

We do this as churches,  and in so doing continue to treat Christian equipping as information saturation,  and opinion apologetics.   This ,  ISTM,  has fed the present climate of intellectual divide,  and led some to believe that the church represents primarily a “way of thinking”,  when it should be a way of BEING.
