I am excited to be spending some time learning from some great people, and networking with more people from the PCA. I am not excited about leaving my wife for three days.

They are hesitant to embrace what groups Harbor, and Redeemer and Mars Hill, are doing. These local people that I’ve talked to are hesitant to be seen or to move towards creating any “movement”.

Of course its wrong for men to believe that their ministry is not successful until they have a nice big church of 1200, with a “movement”.

So are “movements” wrong? Or are todays movements simply what would have been called a revival in the 20th century? If so, isn’t it right to say that every minister’s goal to building an empire, not his own but Jesus’?
