• Do We All Really Make Disciples In Different Ways?

  
  — Authority:
  In order to answer the question, we need to have some consensus on what it means to make a disciple. But first, let’s dispel any notion that “we don’t make disciples, Jesus does.” It would be better to say that “no one regenerates the heart other than the trinitarian God.” (Ezekiel 36:26) No one comes to ...

• Relevance As The New Legalism

  
  — Authority:
  Figure of a Missional Perspective (Photo credit: Wikipedia) I don’t know how many times I think I can say this, but Christians just need to get rid of the words “Missional” and “relevance” out of their vocabulary.

• Am I Imposing My Giftings, Emphasis, Context, and Mission On You?

  
  — Authority:
  A friend recently asked me if it was possible that I was imposing my emphasis in God’s mission on others. It’s a hard-hitting question that, I admit, has caused me to think. Am I suffering from “My” myopia? Am I, in a sense, one of those who is placing heavy and unnecessary burdens on people? (Acts 15:28) ...

• God’s Mission is the grand Story

  
  — Authority:
  When we grasp that the whole Bible constitutes the coherent revelation of the mission of God, when we see this as the key that unlocks the driving purposefulness of the whole grand narrative, then we find our whole world view impacted by this vision.

• Questions About Apologetics

  
  — Authority:
  Go Home, Christian apologists, you’re drunk! Let’s be honest, I have an apathy for so called Christian apologists and Bull-Horn evangelists who want to monologue at everyone they meet.
