A viral church?

IS it possible to be a church
in which the gospel is so
compellingly proclaimed,
believed,
taught,
and transformational in practice

that it is unnecessary to spend
a lot of time and energy either in:
endless hype and church-promotion
or
in bashing and merciless deconstruction of the lesser alternatives?

This is one of the big questions that I've been noodling on for the past few years.

I sure hope it is possible - by the power of the Holy Spirit working through us, loving enemies, walking with steadfast faithfulness in relationships, strengthening us to serve others...! Those other strategies you mentioned are fundamentally human power driven, ISTM. Mustard seed, yeast...viral?
