Freely Get. Freely Give.
November 13, 2006
According to Crazychurch.com, "If we get to the end of our lives and the Internet is mostly known as a place to get porn for free and sermons for $5, something's gone terribly wrong."
Over the last 15 years technology has reduced the cost of replicating and distributing ideas to almost nothing. The result has been a rate of innovation unlike any before. One result is that creative ideas from a local church can now be shared for free with other churches anywhere in the world almost immediately. Inspired by Jesus' marching orders to "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.", several churches have banded together to create a space for creative churches to freely share ideas and tools God has given them with the church at large (www.crazychurch.com). They believe there's still a place for some things that need to be sold when there's no other option--it just shouldn't be the first option. What do you think... Will this work? Is it doable?
