I might suggest a clearer definition of the word Scripture as you use it. A non-churched person from another background (ie, Muslim or Buddhist) have a “scripture” more familiar to them than what you are referring to or is this a document just for “insiders” already?

You don’t talk about the specifics of our “full and complete access to the Father”. What does the individual have to do to experience this, or does everybody already have it?

I think you have outlined a great narrative of what God has done and is doing through the history of humanity. You have done well to stay away from an “Us-Them” attitude - I think this is the biggest mistake the church has done in the last 2,000 yeears of the narrative. It is an “Us”… there are no other distinctions. We are all part of humanity.

I appreciate your introduction to Missio Dei here. I am studying this for some work I am doing for my church denomination’s upcoming national (Canada) conference. My focus is on First Nations ministry, and the Missio Dei philosophy provides some wonderful avenues for ministry that the church has not used - at least not for a long time.

There is more to our message than evangelism and invitations to become like “US”. We need to demonstrate the fruit of the Spirit and share the joy of knowing Jesus without the denominational hooks.

thanks, I downloaded the article for closer study.
