Compartmentalized

He said " your right, we should encourage them to plant churches. They should be more evangelistic, send missionaries and plant churches". I said "Well, actually what I'm saying is that there is no distinction between evangelism, missions and church planting. If you look at the New Testament they are one and the same, all evangelism is missional and always results in a localized expression of believers.
We live in a compartmentalized world where we go to church, worship (corporate singing), do evangelism, go on missions and on and on. Integrity means wholeness where we live an integrated live not a compartmentalized life. I act like a christian at church and turn it off at work or on the ball field....Integrity means we wholistically live out our identity, rather than these little aspects of who we are in different settings. I want to put an end to compartmentalization....Like I always say...You don't go to church...you are the church wherever you go.
