Preach-Texting
I came across an awesome idea about Preach-Texting. Read this article to see what I am talking about. During a sermon, the pastor invited folks to text him questions about prayer (which the sermon was about).
This is interesting to me for two reasons. First, it is becoming more and more clear to me that preaching, and church services in general, must be more dialogical than monological. The church seems to be returning to its roots of “interactive”. Early chapters of Acts portrays a church that, yes is full of sinners, but appears to feed off of each other in dialogue and connection.
Secondly, there appears to be an evolving world of “church services” which I would argue is a must. The set song, prayer, announcements, word formula appears to be losing its novelty. How it must change and what it will be come is unclear, but one things is sure, Christianity and its services must change to reach a different set of people.

I just want to add: AMEN!
