In his book, Borderland Churches: A Congregation’s Introduction to Missional Living, Gary Nelson says the following about crossing over as significant hinge points in Christianity:
“We are facing an ‘abar (crossover) time in the life of our church in North America.”
“’Crossing over’ is rarely embraced willingly. It is, however, only in the crossing over that God’s new thing becomes possible. Crossing over provides, as one management expert calls it, an opportunity for a ‘whack on the side of the head’ that will unlock us from thinking and living in the old familiar ruts.”
“In ‘abar moments we realize that we cannot go back and neither can we stay where we are.” [28-29]
