That said, I think we might have found our home already. The church is called Cross Pointe and I had the opportunity to visit last Sunday. While it was only one visit, I must say I felt a connection. I had found out about the church through the Acts 29 Network which is a church planting network that I’ve been following for a while (thanks for my friend Robert Greene at Redemption Hill). The thing I like most about Acts 29 is that their churches are very reformed and missional. So, when moving to FL I decided to see if they had a church in the area. Not only did I find that they had a church here, but Cross Pointe Church is one of the top 25 church planting churches in the nation. That is cool because one of my life dreams is to be a part of planting churches. So, seems like a good place to be. [...] […] So, now here we are in Florida without a church to call home.

This distinction is important. To use reformed theology as a cul-de-sac in our churches is to move against the entire point of God’s work in this world.

“Good reformed theology is going to be church planting, kingdom driven, multiplying, culture engaging, and grace centered or it is not good reformed theology”

I couldn’t agree more.

I wasn't sure but thought they were reformed. I'm going to change this to 5 out of 5!!! Woot woot. It more effectively makes my point anyway, so thanks for the information. Good word man.
