Being Missional Demands Sacrifice

It is easy to get excited about being missional and forget what it will actually take to reach those far from God. Often it means doing things you would never otherwise do and getting in risky situations.

I remember taking a guy from work bowling who I wanted to share Jesus with. He was having a horrible time with his girlfriend who was actually being abusive to him. He would show up to work with huge cuts on his body. He was…

Being Missional Flows Out of Thanksgiving

Well, I just watched the first half of the Cowboys-Dolphins game, and it was pretty nondescript. Not exciting enough to keep me fully awake after a big Thanksgiving meal. Pretty boring, and a bit irritating as Tony Romo once again threw two terrible interceptions. I just consoled myself with another piece of pecan pie. The half ended at 10-6, Cowboys.

 

If we…

The Gospel “Presented” in a Moment?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whether or not “The Gospel” can be narrowed down to a presentation or a “Plan of Salvation,” is of secondary concern to this post.

Missional Small Groups/Communities - From Impersonal Outreach Events to Fun, Relational Parties and Gatherings

In this video, a pastor talks about how he was in charge of putting on church events that people were supposed to invite their friends to come to, such as a concert. He planned on 1000 and had only 80 come. Then he discovered that tons of people came out to a local restaurant each week to hear a band. Then he tells how he started having a cookout in his small group…

10 Ways to Help Your Members and Church Reach Out Through Facebook and Online Social Networking

My Doctor of Ministry work is in missional outreach. And a significant part of this paper is on the use of social networking to reach people for Christ, both the old fashioned, "real world" networking and online social networking. I want to address the latter in this post, though both are intertwined. 

 

There are several elements to effectively using Facebook…

My "God Encounter" with My Hair Cutter at Sports Clips

This afternoon I went and got my hair cut at Sports Clips. This is where I usually go. Hey, I'm a guy, and if you have to wait around and take the time to get your hair cut, you might as well be able to watch ESPN when you go. So, kudos to them for winning the niche marketing game.

 

I usually try to go to frequent many of the same places, such as hair cutting…

Do These 4 Things Before/During/After a Funeral to Show Love and Reach People for Christ

If you were to ask me which is gifts are stronger for me--evangelism or pastoral care--I would say the former. Still, I visit a lot of people in the hospital, counsel people, and seek to be there for them when loved ones pass away.



I actually very much want to minister to people when they have lost loved ones, and I am always glad to be able to perform a funeral. I… Continue
