I sometimes suspect that we have mistakenly understood the Great Mission of the Church to be a: Go forth and have many meetings; or b) Go forth and talk about what I have commanded you to do. #HisMission#OurMission#GoAndDo
I continually battle to try to help believers with very different perspectives work together in His mission. The distance is sometimes so great, so fatiguing to cross.
I am thrilled to announce the newest member of the Executive Leadership Team...Donna L. Barrett, general secretary of the Assemblies of God. #MadamSecretary#History https://t.co/Q5LxLWuLO0
I’ve come to believe that followers of Jesus who show consistent willing, prompt, faithful obedience to His Word and the urgings of His Spirit (not perfect but easily corrected) discover an ever increasing capacity to be used by God for His purposes. #StewardsOfGrace
Who is the world? Friend or enemy? Citizen or Alien? Rich or poor? Liberal or Conservative?
Here’s the point. God didn’t send His Son into the world to judge it; instead, He is here to rescue a world headed toward certain destruction. Jn 3:17
His grace is greater than the price of obedience. Would rather the sense of just His presence and pleasure, than the applause and approval of thousands. #thisonething
By now most of my life has been lived cross-culturally. And while it’s a joy and a privilege (and seldom boring) I still experience pangs of “home culture sickness”. Like missing Sunrise services and hot cross buns at Easter! #StillCallAustraliaHome
The mystery of the cross has always been either a stumbling block (offensive) or foolishness, to those who are perishing. But to those who are being saved it is both the power and wisdom of God. #Easter#wisdomforthemature
A 2013 quote from @TulsaDJones came up this morning; "Everybody's looking for a "have to" situation (a strong "Go ye!" from the Lord) ...so they're missing OPPORTUNITIES!” #EveryDaySpiritLedLife
If Paul was with us today, he would call for our active resistance to all that hinders the ongoing missionary purpose of God; to religious structures, 'eulogies and 'isms, codes, customs, institutions and political systems.(Glasser) #HisMission
