1: Growing Up in the Church
Stories of his church as a youth (not that much different than mine). “Everything I learned about the Christian life I learned from my church. I will make this a bigger principle: a local church determines what the Christian life looks like for the people in that church. Now I’ll make it even bigger still: we all learn the Christian life from how our local church shapes us. These three principles are a way of saying that local churches matter far more than we often know.” (emphasis mine).
That leads to the question: What then is the church supposed to be? And the natural addition to that question is :If the church is what it is supposed to be, what does the Christian life look like? (emphasis McKnight’s)
