Colson Center Resources

These days it’s possible to find just about whatever you might want in a church. Whether your style is traditional or contemporary, your interest fellowship or outreach, your preference for the young and hip or the older and more sedate, big steeple or no steeple, liturgical or more spontaneous, preaching or story-telling – just about whatever you want in a church, you can find. Church leaders today feel at liberty to shape and position their churches according to the interests and needs of their communities, or the preferences in style or structure of church leaders. Never before have there been so many different kinds of churches to engage the visions of church leaders or the fancies of prospective worshipers.

There is a Biblical framework for truth which unfolds a particular story, according to a particular structure, toward the realization of certain human, cultural, and social outcomes. The template represented by that framework can help Christians to integrate all thinking about all of life so that, increasingly, we may take every thought captive and make them obedient to the gracious and glorious purposes of Christ Himself (2 Cor. 10:3-5).
