Persistence isn’t using the same tactics over and over.
That’s just annoying.
Persistence is having the same goal over and over.

The goal or vision stays the same, but the church needs to modify or completely change its way of achieving it. Thats if what it is doing stops working. This applies to all models of church, no matter how new or old they are. I think some very traditional churches are achieving their mission, and some new ones are not, so its not about what you do…its what you achieve.
What is our goal, what is our vision?
Good post Mark. Obviously we need to be theologically informed, but I think we get far more tied up about how to get things done than the Bible does.
