Most every church I've known has struggle in finding ministry leaders. There are undoubtedly reasons for this that are specific for individual churches, but I want to highlight a few reasons for these struggles that tend to be true in most churches.
Here are the mistakes that churches make in trying to recruit leaders:
1.Recruiting through impersonal means.
The bulletin is a lousy place to recruit. True, it may occassionally… Continue
PRIESTHOOD ADVOCATE – CHURCHES OF CHRIST YOUTH NETWORK
A Christian Evangelical Network established to advocate the effective participation of the youth in their physical and spiritual development.
LITERATURE
All worship is based on priesthood, for the priestly office is an essential part of salvation. Christianity itself has its glorious Priest, the Lord Jesus Christ, and it is through His one supreme offering that we are brought into saved relations with God and enjoy… Continue
I am very excited about the opportunity to speak at the High Pointe church in McKinney, TX this Wednesday night. (August 5, 2009 7:00 p.m.) Ephesians 3:10 will be my text. I will present how the church is God's choice to bring his plans to fruition and that He might ultimately receive the glory that is due him. He will reach "through" us to reach the world. Remember the word "through". And when the world is reached He will be glorified and we rejoice because of the word "through". Please be… Continue
This is a short video that graphically illustrates the contrast between going to church and being the church out in the community. It promotes the "Tangible Kingdom" the book by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay. See http://www.tangiblekingdom.com/.
The Tangible Kingdom came out in 2008, and it has quickly taken hold in missional and church planting circles. One of the reasons it is pretty powerful is because it…

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.matt22:37-40
(the new testament church started with Love. )
We love him, because he first loved us.
If a man say, I… Continue
Here's a great article by friend and colleague Tom Clegg discussing the intersection of coaching and evangelism (article runs from pages 64-67). I wonder how many more of our friends, neighbors, and co-workers would be following Jesus today if we took Tom's approach of "asking" curious questions rather than sticking with our traditional approach of "telling" people about Jesus?
¶ Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning.
8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.
9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.
10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none… Continue
I JOHN CHAPTER 4
1 ¶ Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. john6:63
Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.
10 ¶ If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: 2john1:9-10
what is the doctrine of Christ?
The article explores evangelism and discipleship, exploring what is "hot" and what is "not" in these areas. While I'm not a big fan of the "hot" or "not" terminology (our approaches to evangelism and discipleship ought to be based upon more than trendy ministry), the writer is very in touch… Continue
I get a lot of ministry magazines just sent to me. I let them stay in my mailbox at work until Teresa, one of my trusty administrative assistants, forces me to go through them. Much of the time, they are quickly skimmed and go in the trash.
However, recently a magazine called "Rev!: Revving Up Ministry Together" caught my attention. The articles were current,… Continue
I am like so many on this site--an American. I love many of the things that America has stood for. We are not a perfect country, but we have been a country that has probably done more good than any other country throughout history.
But what was the basis of our country's founding? We were being taxed without representation. Hey, I'm sympathetic. I don't even like taxation with representation! But would Jesus have been for a violent… Continue

I thought I would make my public announcement here on MON as I find myself surrounded with many friends. After a natural partnership formed between World Radio and Genesis Alliance, I found a new friend and associate in Sixto Rivera. Sixto has a feverish and contagious attitude and passion for the Kingdom and its growth. On July 1, 2009, I am making the move over to Genesis Alliance as the Director of Development. My passion for World Radio will never wane while a new and greater challenge… Continue
