Old Word New Meaning

Old words are taking on new meanings in this emerging culture. One of those words is transgressive. In the past when I heard the word transgressive I thought sin and transgressions. Today I think “transgressive church.”

Transgressive churches happily take on what the modern church would consider taboo; outsiders, outcast, and the outlaws.

Will you “take on” the taboos, whatever they are? When I say “take on” I mean less “stand against” than “walk alongside.” The church is here to destroy fortresses, not build them. A Mighty Fortress is not our church. A Mighty Fortress is our God.
