Gospel Transforation - the Goal

Below is a short summary that resulted from the earlier discussion on Form and Function. In the end, New City Church's goal is Gospel Transformation.

It is not the extreme that we seek, neither is the goal to see how close to some line we might be able to come. We desire to see the gospel transform everything within our reach - our selves, our church, our city, and the world. Doing so requires that we effectively communicate the true and transforming gospel of Jesus Christ - not watered down, not plus or minus anything - simply the Gospel. Within the bounds of Scripture we desire to use whatever means is necessary to achieve that goal and see Gospel transformation.
And for it, I fully anticipate some negative reactions.
