Is it possible our world is just one big high school lunchroom? In a world fraught with polarization and division—where we form separate tables based on political beliefs, skin color, economic status, theological ideas, and personal preferences—can we find a way to live differently, more aligned with the ways of Jesus? In Lunchroom Theology, Heather Gorman and Mark Nelson confront our societal and theological rifts, and by weaving together scriptural and sociological insights, they expose the many ways our contemporary divisions are mirrored by the church today.

Kirkwood brings his decades of worship leading experience and education from the Robert E. Webber Institute for Worship Studies in this timely book.

Our responsibility is the "ask or think," and God takes care of the "far more abundantly." God has called you to be a small-town pastor and grow your church right in your own backyard-but your vision is obscure and your resources are scarce. Take heart, because if God can prosper one church, He can prosper all.

The fullness and vigour of Christianity has been in decline in the life of the West, the application of gospel truths often limited to personal evangelism and our personal prayer life. But this is a radically narrow view of the Christian mission. In the biblical narrative we see a vision for the mission of God’s people that is nothing less than the faithful worship of God in every area of life and culture - in our laws, educational institutions, politics, and arts, to name just a few.

In 2020, thousands of church leaders shut down the assembly of the saints in response to Covid-19. For example, John MacArthur said, "The clear demand of Scripture is to be subject to the [civil government]. We conform, we are submissive to the government. That was an easy call for us." Other pastors claimed that God "prevented" the saints from meeting. In the end, these pastors effectively scattered the sheep, telling them to stay away from their shepherds.

The fuel that feeds the fire are gray issues. What is a gray issue? A gray issue is an area of theology or culture that is either not addressed in the Bible, or while addressed, leaves room for legitimate differences of opinions. Come and join a new movement of biblically sound, theologically solid, and beautifully unified Gray Churches.
