A pastor that I am often encouraged by and
have come to admire for a number of reasons is Todd Wagner, the pastor of Watermark Community Church in Dallas, TX. Just recently he spoke at a conference and made this statement, “Some people choose a church like a cruise line—what is comfortable for me? Some people choose a church like a battleship—agreeing on a mission and everyone playing their part.” I think Todd is right on with his statement. I believe that unfortunately the North American evangelical church has shifted away from the body of Christ operating as a collective whole with everyone engaged within the community to make the body work correctly (1 Cor. 12:12-26) to that of sitting on the sidelines and letting the “paid” people do the work.
I hope and pray that as we at College Life pursue the incoming class of freshmen at OU that we are pursuing them to engage them in the body of Christ and to empower them to lead and serve in numerous ways and not because we are looking to establish ourselves with a larger and greater number to tout.
