I posted some thoughts on The Tangible Kingdom a while back, a book by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay of Adullam.
They’ve created a site dedicated for it as well with a teaser video and the first chapters available for download.
Here’s one practical thought I really liked…
What if every church was able to get every person to commit 5 percent of their income toe the general church fund, but mobilized the other 5 percent of their income to their communities?
The book’s out now. Go get it.

I think they stole that idea from us! Ok, probably not…but that is what we do. We encourage people to give 5% to Mosaic and then use the other 5% or more to meet the needs of people around them, in the community. Everyone is encouraged to set up specific giving bank accounts.
hey Lon. Just wanted to let you know I’m still sifting through your thoughts and definitely thank you for sifting through mine.
We should dialogue soon! I think there a lot of thoughts you bring up that I’d love to talk about and refine together!
You rock, big bro.
Sam, awesome to hear you’re actually doing that… how’s that going for you? we need to chat more in-depth some time..
Albert – thanks for staying tuned, you name the time and place and I’m there!
