Ed Stetzer interiew on sub-text

Speaking of sub-text, there is a new interview with Ed Stetzer over there.

A highlight:

Q: What are some common mistakes churches in the suburbs make?

Ed: I think there are probably several.

First, they assume that nice shiny clean people have nice shiny clean lives. When you work in an urban context, you can sometimes see the sin and trouble with greater ease. It is better hidden in the suburbs. Thus, we think that people need sermons on how to improve their lives. They don’t. They need messages on how to be transformed by the gospel. (emphasis added)
