Sacramentality with a Charismatic twist…

[Mike Winger @MikeWingerii]

Yet another bomb dropping on The Passion Translation.

Brian Simmons claimed his work was under rigorous review by scholars. It was not. A scholar who he had on that team speaks out that he had no editorial role or power.

In my view, these scholars (who are largely unidentified in spite of requests for transparency) were there for appearances and weren’t brought in till late in the process, to provide a surface level response to very valid criticisms that Brian was the chief architect of this translation and not subject to thoughtful scholarly process.

“Wadholm said he had no oversight or editorial control. He does not know how Simmons reached any of the decisions he made about the final version of the text that Broadstreet published.

“The translation always remained Brian’s own,” Wadholm said.”

Pastors would do well to rethink the missional practice of exegeting their culture. If all ministry is, in some sense, cross cultural ministry, spending time understanding your community seems imperative.

It seems like this is less emphasized these days. But it’s extremely important if you want to be effective at reaching people with the Gospel of the Kingdom.

Latest article on “Ministry Time.”

[Luke Geraty @lukegeraty]

“Ministry Time” is the popular phrase used within Charismatic churches to describe the space in a worship gathering that is focused on inviting the presence of the Holy Spirit to come and where prayer ministry takes place, as well as prophetic gifting, healing prayer, etc.

By the time that John Wimber and the early Vineyard movement sprung onto the scene, this became a defining hallmark of the Charismatic Tradition. One simply has to point to Lonnie Frisbee’s infamous prayer, “Come Holy Spirit,” to see how influential “ministry time” became.

How can leaders cultivate expectation when it comes to “ministry time”?

What are best practices when it comes to creating safety and participation from the congregation?

Are certain practices helpful for a sustainable approach to “ministry time”?

In this article, after laying out a history of "Ministry Time" and encouraging a "thicker" understanding of "Ministry Time" as a space for the Holy Spirit, I lay out...

Practical Tips for “Ministry Time”

1. for the church to function well in this area, the church needs a biblical-theology guiding her practices.

2. it’s okay if you don’t have the most profound “manifestations” and miraculous supernatural experiences every Sunday.

3. schedule “Ministry Time” in various spaces within the worship gathering throughout the month.

4. share stories of how the Holy Spirit’s activity has impacted people in order to help build hunger, expectation, and a value for more of the Spirit’s activity.

5. change up how people can respond during “Ministry Time” to include opportunities for people to come forward or receive prayer where they are seated or standing in the seating.

6. how we carry out “Ministry Time” needs to affirm our Vineyard value of “everyone gets to play.”

7. have mints/gum and anointing oil handy.

8. watch and read Steve Nicholson’s “How to Lead a Dynamic Ministry Time” in order to help facilitate this incredibly important part of the life of the church.

Each of these practical steps are explained in much fuller detail and can help you develop "Ministry Time" in your local church.
