Kimball Argument Analysis

I really enjoyed this article. It has been one of my favorites thus far. Kimball had many quality arguments and opinions on what needs to change within the church. His main point of this article is stated on page 86, "I believe true emerging churches must go deep within, and form the inside out, rethink. reshape, and revalue how we are about everything as culture changes. We must rethink leadership, church structure, the role of a pastor, spiritual formation, how community is lived out, how evangelism is done, how we express our worship, etc. It is not about what we do in the worship service, but about everything". I agree with Kimball that the Church still has a lot of growing to do, and trough that growing there must be some changes made along the way. Over the years we have lost our way, and need help guiding us back on the right path.
One of the ways the Christian community has strayed away from is the use of scripture. God's word should be the foundation of all that we do, say, and live. Scripture literally means, "God breathed". It gives us the knowledge we need to understand the truth about God, and guides us how to use that knowledge. As a church we need to dive into the word of God and truly value its importance. We have strayed away from God's truth, and in a way began developing our own truth's and beliefs according to personal needs, society influences, etc. Kimball stresses throughout this whole article about the importance of theology. Every belief, sermon, prayer, etc has had some sort of theology behind it. We must become individually more educated, and develop our own opinions based on theology, so that we can have a true understanding of God's word, and can spread it to unbelievers with
