The Web 2.0 Church!
Many Christians are experiencing discontent with the way things have been in the traditional church. General statistics show us that almost half of those who claim to be Christain no longer go to church.
The Internet is Changing! WEB 2.0
Are you ready to change?
I'm struck with the similarity of what's happening in today's Christian Church and what is going on in the internet with Web 2.0Our changing world demands that the church must change with it. It's a great mistake to assume that our present church culture is more Biblical than some of the newer models. Churches should appeal to the many avenues of society.
Our mindsets need to not be stationary. The cloud is moving. Old paradigm churches have permitted spiritual and emotional abuse, victimization, and control. These issues must be seriously addressed.
Where free communication is not allowed, control usually results.
The relational aspects of Web 2.0 provide a model for churches to create powerful interaction between members. Improved communication can also be developed between congregants and church leaders.
Web 2.0 shows us the massive change into a people focued group where all can participate. We see the need for collective information - where the collective intelligence of the masses is harnessed (like Wikipedia). We see that an honor system of trust allows groups to add vital information and even at times correct themselves.
This group idea appeals to many who tire of the single monolithic approach of leadership. Proper leadership now moves more to teaching, guidance, and mentoring. There is great need for more mutual interaction. Consumer-friendly structure.
Church leadership authority is redefined as we move into new mindsets of what reaches people in this new day. We no longer just pontificate - we can blog (interact) together - contributing all of our ideas for greater application and understanding. Communication-oriented systems become part of where the church can go!
This shift is also called the 3rd Day Church! This 3rd Day speaks of resurrection - it shows us the reality of LIVING in a new platform. We're starting a new platfor on web2-0church.com
The Church government must change to accomadate this change. All of us must develop new mindsets. What an exciting day to be alive! In the midst of change!
Our ministry is here to help believers CHANGE - to mature until they are able to realize, enjoy, and activate the things that Jesus died to give.

The sad thing is so many folks think the limited Christianity most of us have known is the real thing. This is God's time for those who desire a deeper relationship with Him to be set free from limitations and tradition and move on into what He has planned from humankind from the beginning. A fresh hard look at Genesis 1 & 2 is in order.

I'm tired of "religionism," another "-ism." Someone said the root word for "religion" is bondage. Just look at all those who know what the Word says but not the power thereof. Like the Scribes and Pharisees. Christians argue over interpretations... but we are not called to the unity of the doctrine, but to the unity of the Faith. We are called into relationship and sonship! Then His light can so shine within us and emanate from us that others will see our good works (fruit) and glorify our Father who is in Heaven. That's the outreach, the sharing, the caring ... the "community" like web 2.0 .. sharing the Word through the witness of our lives and our love.
The 3rd Day Church... I love it! But let us not get into mob rule, because it doesn't matter what you or I believe, only what the unadulterated Word of God says. He said it - that settles it! So each should find a good church that DOES teach the full Word of God in real-life and poignant ways, where the Spirit flows!
