Eternal Economics 101: Profit and Loss « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    A profit is an improvement resulting from a transaction… examine whether the transaction of exchanging our souls to gain the world puts us in a better position eternally. Because in God's ledger only salvation… counts as profit; only work in the Kingdom of God brings in revenue; everything else is loss.

Who Is Jesus? - 0 views

  •  
    "This Jesus of Nazareth, without money and arms, conquered more millions than Alexander, Caesar and Napoleon. Without science and learning He shed more light on things human and things divine than all philosophers and scholars combined. Without the eloquence of schools, He spoke such Words of Life as were never spoken before or since, and produced effects which lie beyond the reach of orator or poet. Without writing a single line, He set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art and songs of praise than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times." -Phillip Schaff, noted historian.

The Role of the Pastor/Teacher in Disciple-Making Movements - 0 views

  • It is the Pastor/Teacher who will raise up the next crop of leaders who will fulfill the roles of apostle, prophet, evangelist, and pastor/teacher.  The laborers come out of the harvest, and the Pastor/Teacher is the farmer who carefully tends the sheep of God; protecting them, training them, deploying them in partnership with the evangelism team, identifying those with potential and making sure they are trained as the next generation of leaders though knowledge, practice, teaching others and replication.
  • A Movement usually only needs one or two apostolic types, a handful of prophets, and several dozen teams of evangelists.  But for the movement to succeed, it needs a pastor/teacher type for every 10 new groups started in order to complete the good work started.  The biggest challenge of the leadership of Movements is the training of the pastor/teacher role from within the movement.
  • When this element of movement is in place, and when it continues the learning processes used by the startup team, then workers emerge, pastor/teachers develop, and a very healthy self-replicating church is born.  The startup team moves on to the next place without church, but the pastor/teachers stay in place, maturing the church and developing an army of leaders who will extend the Kingdom of God. It is the responsibility of every Movement Strategist to make sure that the Pastor/Teacher development role is in place and that it is strong.  Without this element, movement will falter and fail.

BUILDING A SPIRITUAL WALL: Five Imperatives of Spiritual Growth « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    Despite the damage sin does to us spiritually and physically, the Blood of Jesus Christ washes us clean and makes us new. From human eyes, it might not look like much, but we have everything we need to build up our spiritual wall of salvation. And that wall is indestructible, because God is its architect. Therefore, if/when we fall into sin let us not doubt our spiritual growth (if indeed we have been growing!). Rather, we should keep an eye on the gates watching and praying so that the enemy does not infiltrate our spiritual wall and lead us into temptation (Mark 14:38).

The Word for Washing « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    If we indeed intend to heed God's call to service, let us then commit ourselves to sanctification: to being washed by His Word. Let us determine to study God's Word that He might set us apart unto Himself, for His use ONLY.

Swaddling Clothes: Gift-Wrapped Love « Reflections in the WORD - 0 views

  •  
    Just as a loving mother restricts her baby's motion to help it to rest more comfortably, let us allow God to swaddle us with His Word so that we might find true peace. And may God swaddle us with His Will so that we will love and serve our fellowmen, putting their needs ahead of our own.
