Mark Batterson's 'Primal'

Just finished reading "Primal" by Mark Batterson, what can I say, another awesome read. Really spoke to the adventurous spirit in me. Life is too short to waste when we are called to at all cost reach the world with the gospel of Christ, 'primal Christianity'. Anything and everything that gets in the way of this mission is, well, in the way. The 'quest for the lost soul of Christianity' spoke to me in a deep way. How has so much of modern Christianity fell so far from the mission of the church found in Acts? I'm not talking about forms, style, methods, etc., I'm talking about agendas, mentalities, priorities, and choices. We don't need to return methods of the past, if they no longer work, then they need to be replaced. I'm afraid much of the modern church has drifted away from the original agenda of the church, to win the world for Christ. The early believers began the revolution at dear cost to themselves, counting God and the cause of Christ worthy of taking priority over everything in their life, including their opinions and preferences. The mentality of self absorbed religion was engulfed by the mentality of servant leadership modeled by Jesus Himself. These early believers turned their world upside down, and I wonder sometimes, does the world even know we exist? I think God is calling those that will hear His voice to once again be consumed with His mission over all things. This call means leaving selfishness at the cross and finding the raw, uncut, 'primal' if you will, passion for Jesus that changes the world. Anyway, as you can tell, the book has me pretty fired up! Check it out.
