• The Role Of The Prophet

  
  Missio Dei — Authority: 512
  I wonder if someone ever said to Isaiah or Jeremiah, “How dare you criticize the what we’re doing!”  I’m serious. If ever there is a thankless job in the Ecclessia, it is the prophetic voice, the one that has the very thankless job of reminding the church, “This is not who you are.”  Prophet have a ...

  the reluctant leader — Authority: 108
  My friend, Paul Barker is in Manila for a couple of weeks working with our pastors and key admin leaders.   Yesterday Paul led a seminar he calls “The 5 Foundations of Productive Teams.” That’s a faith-man’s version of Patrick Lencioni ’s “The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team.”   I think I ...

  adammclane.com — Authority: 426
  For a variety of reasons I know a lot of people in church transition. Some were on staff at a church which has let them go for budget reasons and they need a new church home.

• Not a family church

  
  Danno's Dangerous Mind — Authority: 128
  I was recently talking with a couple of pastors who are on staff at a church together. They talked glowingly about their church, and how it is a "family church," and all the things they do to lift up "family," and theyre working on making it more "family friendly" and trying to disciple the "whole family" with "family ...

• Why Aren’t We More Missional (Pt 3)

  
  Church Planting Novice — Authority: 467
  So far we’ve seen that God motivates us for mission with our gospel identity (missio Dei) and missional responsibility ( mandates). Another way God motivates us to mission is by giving us particular graces. These graces come in the form of spiritual gifts. All of these gifts are intended to advance the mission ...

• Why Aren’t People More Missional? (Pt 2)

  
  Church Planting Novice — Authority: 467
  Despite the preponderance of missional church resources, American Christians are slow to live missionally. Why is this? In our last post, we suggested that one reason is that we are motivating the church with best practices of mission, instead of an identity of mission grounded in the Missio Dei. Today, I’d like to ...

• Why Aren’t People More Missional?

  
  Church Planting Novice — Authority: 467
  Do you ever struggle in motivation for mission? Do you ever see your people lacking in motivation for mission? After all the shifts in ecclesiology, the planting of many churches, and the landslide of missional literature, why aren’t people more missional? Perhaps it is because we are motivating them with the wrong ...

• Life Lessons Learned From TV

  
  Purging my soul...one blog at a time. — Authority: 408
  My wife loves “ So You Think You Can Dance .” I (by contrast) hate it. Yet, while feeding the baby or folding laundry, I am subjected to an  unconscionable amount of this show. I really don’t mind that much – sometimes I get into it. But the most interesting thing about the show is the critiquing of the ...

  adammclane.com — Authority: 426
  What if the model we do church is wrong? What if the way the Bible describes the church in Acts and the pastoral epistles is really the way Jesus expects the church to be run?
