Tim Keller in his many articles and talks on city focused church planting has done an excellent job of articulating the need for a radical change in thinking amongst many Christians. The city is not a place to escape, but rather a place to embrace with a gospel transforming love! The city is not a place of sin whilst the leafy suburbs and villages are an idyllic refuge. No all of humanity has been ‘infected’ with the disease of sin (Eph 2, Rom 1-3). As a result ALL of humanity, including the cities need churches that will love enough to give their lives to see gospel-centred churches established that share through words and works the wonderful gift of salvation. Love the city. Love the people of the city. Love them enough to give your life to seeing the city transformed!
