Doug Paggit, the founding pastor of Solomon’s Porch, told me to be innovative at the beginning of class. For my non-Christian readers, that’s kind of like if Mystery came in and told you to be a pick up artist. I’ve read dozens of books where the exploits of Paggit are celebrated—so that was exciting.
Doug told us some things about his church that I was unaware of—but are key ideas. First, they write all their own worship music. I like this idea because my own brother once told me that church would be way better if rather than singing the songs of dead strangers we sang our own songs to God. Second, they consider their church to extend out into all activities during the week. For instance, one of their members owns a restaurant. They consider everything that goes on at that restaurant part of their church. This is a phenomenal approach.
It is!
