Step Through the Wardrobe

C.S. Lewis is a master at transporting us from one world into another. Whether through a wardrobe to Narnia or riding a bus to heaven, we are carried into an alternate reality full of wonder and discovery. The mainline church today may be portrayed as if in the sleepy world of the uncle’s house. Looking through the wardrobe, the mainline church can catch a glimpse of an alternate reality that is both thrilling and full of challenge. The missional church movement is about stepping out of the sleepy state of privilege and into the wild and adventurous opportunity to be the sent ones of Jesus Christ in the world. Like for the Pevensie children, stepping through the wardrobe takes faith and courage. Presbyterian Global Fellowship invites you to live out the ancient call, in which the church is not about attracting people but equipping them to be radical, counter-cultural, agents of Jesus Christ in the world. Presbyterian Global Fellowship seeks to be the international community of believers that equips one another to join God where He is moving.

Missing the opportunity to experience and live in God’s reality is one of life’s greatest tragedies, individually and corporately. C.S. Lewis powerfully reminds us that God wants so much more for us than we can imagine. He writes, “Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”

The opportunity is to live today as a missional community of believers following Jesus Christ. Step through the wardrobe. An adventure awaits.
