C. Michael Patton visits a popular non-denominational Evangelical associated church and reflects on the experience:

I could go on but this experience has confirmed to me the desperate shape that the modern church is in and the need that we have for theological renewal.

Truth first, mission second, fellowship third, and if there is any room, throw in some entertainment.
