The church has created a salvation culture and Scot McKnight argues in his "The King Jesus Gospel" that the gospel needs to deconstruct the church. He lists five ways this is to happen:
1. We have to become people of the story. Let God's Word shape us.
2. We need to immerse ourselves more into the story of Jesus (read, study, digest the four gospels).
3. We need to examine more carefully how the story of Israel, Jesus, and the church by the Apostles transformed the next generation and culture and the connection of that generation all the way to our generation.
4. We need to reframe and contrast our story against the myriad of false stories.
5. We need to disciple and live as transformed people by the gospel story.
