"It`s walking with God in a world that witnesses Christian churches being run more as businesses than as ministries. Mission efforts develop as enterprises instead of as serving-journeys, and Christians agencies concentrate on selling merchandise to the detriment of discipleship. Tours, cruises, and fairs take place in the name of the gospel, but our understanding of spiritual warfare reflects more a dualist worldview than an affirmation of God`s sovereignty. It`s walking with God humbly... serving, praying, sharing, and not executively, managerially, merchantly, aggressively, arrogantly, possessively.
