Many good thoughts here. A revitalized church is a church of action in their community. People are called to share, called to action when something is communicated to them that connects them to their calling. Bringing the Gospel to bear on people's situation and bringing about repentance and a desire to serve revitalizes the soul and the person; but we need to be free in Christ to allow the Gospel to be communicated in many different ways to reach those who are outside the walls of the church.

All this has to happen in the context that connects the church's mission with the individual. Paul tells us to be all things to all people. As a church, we often have a problem with that because it challenges our often unchallenged faith. It is no longer about us, about our liturgy, about our hymns; it is about the unchurched, the unserved, and the unknown.
