Today the Watermark Ministry Team hung out and our house for a planning day. It's really exciting to see how God is using these guys and all Watermarkers to make inroads presenting and living the message of Christ in Grand Haven.

There is something about church planting that appeals to me. Maybe it's being able to just hang out for meetings at my house! There's something fresh and exciting about starting something from the ground up and seeing that vision become reality. I also believe that a church plant allows you to be very fluid - tweaking, changing, and staying relevant to the current reality. Quick decisions and quicker implementation...very appealing. The ace kicker, however, is that church plants are very attractive to people who desire to connect with God for the first time, or reconnect after a hiatus. That's refreshing. A church plant, like all churches, has a compelling responsibility to point others to Christ. The difference is that the church plants often have many more opportunities to do this than an established church. Go planters! Be the church!

Great sunset tonight!
