Gracious. This word covers a lot: kindness, courtesy, good taste, tact, compassion. Today churches need to be gracious in every avenue of communication. So this first issue of 2020 addresses a pastor’s communication (Mike Hess, “Pastoral Tone”), a church’s first impression (Greg Linscott, “First-Time Discoveries”), communicating with a new generation (Mel Walker, “Gen Z Is Changing Everything”), the superiority of an originalist hermeneutic (David Gunn, “Why Originalism? Part 2”), and even the notion that God owes us something (Daryl A. Neipp, “Quid Pro Quo”). Meanwhile, Darrell Goemaat focuses on the GARBC, reporting on an effective church planting network (“It’s Time to Plant a Church!”).
