I really liked the position that Bob took on the church. I feel like it is really a great position to be in when it comes to the church making an influence on this world. It was hard to get a true and deep feel to what some of his thoughts were or where they would go if more deeply understood, because he is a lot like me and tended to jump from topic to topic, but all of those topics were interesting.
I liked what he had to say about being intentional about setting up opportunities for people to interact with God, but first they need to have a first positive experience with church. If the first time that we bring someone to the church and they have a bad experience, then what is going to make them want to come back or even have an experience with the God who is at the center of this thing. We need to make sure that we are putting a good face on the church. People don’t want to interact with a church that is negative or doesn’t seem to be a positive thing. We need to be reaching out and people need to be seeing the church as positive. We want them to experience the God we serve, but first we need to make sure that the God we serve is seen in our lives and that he is something that they would want, and something that they feel they need because they can see the beauty and life that it has brought to our lives.
