Urban Church Planting as Spiritual Warfare (Part One)

Authors

Abstract

In the following article I wish to demonstrate that beyond theological convictions and missiological paradigms, church planting is a spiritual warfare especially in urban context. It is actively being involved in the incessant warfare between God and the devil. No sinner can be saved and transformed without first binding the strongman that holds him or her captive. As Jesus said, “When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are safe; but when one stronger than he attacks him and overcomes him, he takes away his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoil.” (Luke 11:21-22)  Without this understanding, much of our principles and strategies would amount to nothing because lives would not be transformed even if they join our churches. This will be followed at a later date with Part 2.
