Passion Church

By now, most people (who would be interested) know that Louie Giglio is planting a church in Atlanta along with Christ Tomlin and Matt Redman. Whatever you’re reaction to this may be, I was encouraged after watching an interview Louie did with the campus pastor of Buckhead Church.

I guess one of the questions, or common reactions, Louie gets to this news is “Why?” With all he’s involved in with Passion and SixStep Records and Northpoint etc., why plant a church?

His response:

The local church is thing Christ died for. I finally woke up to the fact that I had a huge passion in my heart for the local expression of the face of Jesus in a city of people who really need to know where life and light are found.

What a great statement. It is so amazingly refreshing to hear of people who are willing to sacrifice and dedicate themselves to the church. And it’s a sacrifice of great joy, because there is nothing more worthy for which we can die and and on which we can be wasted.
