Francis Chan Moving On From Cornerstone Church

Francis Chan announced to the Conerstone Church congregation last Sunday that he feels compelled that the Holy Spirit wants him to perform missionary work for a few months then begin preaching in a new city (he mentioned LA - 80% sure, Chicago, or NY). Francis indicated he will be preaching at Cornerstone until June, then complete numerous speaking appearances, and in July and August he and his family will be visiting numerous U.S. cities before leaving for a two month missionary trip as a family. Watch the video below for more information and you can download the announcement to the congregation via Itunes (title is Surrender).

Thought Question

My family and I were watching the "Crazy Love" DVD Study Resource last night and Francis Chan asked this question:

If you were alone on an island and had only the Bible to read, after reading the Bible over and over again would you come away saying that "church" of today is what the Bible indicates? Or would you come away that we we have been fed "church" and think "it has always been this way" so it must be right?

Read the Bible and see if your church has added to or deleted things that the Bible teaches us. There are many gifted speakers and teachers we are blessed to have the ability to learn the Bible from. But do your homework - read the Bible and determine for yourself if what you are hearing is correct.
