The Body of Christ, while having structure, is NOT an organization…but a living organism.

As such it requires leaders not managers. Managers get things done THROUGH using people as a resource; whereas biblical leaders get things done IN people by discipleship.

[Shane Bruce @SBruceNC]

A new study on evangelical giving shows that giving is down except for those who are "spiritually engaged."

If we want people to be more generous, the answer is not to ask them to give more but to encourage discipleship.

“Scripture is an organism, a complex, self-interpreting whole, its theology showing the meaning of the events and experiences which it records, and the events and experiences show the outworking of the theology in actual life.” - J.I. Packer

@claysmith79 Yes!! This!!

The apostle Paul’s theology of life formed the basis for his optimism and joy. Whether life or death, appreciation or persecution, he lived to glorify God. He didn’t allow temporal situations to impact his eternal ambitions.

Generosity flows out of gratitude.

Jesus is enough.

“Give. Save. Live. The financial pattern we find in Scripture, that guides us with every paycheck. When we get paid, we first give. Next, we set aside money for the future. Finally, we manage what is left in a manner that is financially healthy & Kingdom advancing. “ @ArtRainer

"We say that people are proud of being rich, or clever, or good-looking, but they are not. They are proud of being richer, or cleverer, or better-looking than others. It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest." - C.S. Lewis

You measure a church’s health by its sending capacity, not by its seating capacity! @RickWarren

[The Unstuck Group @UnstuckGroup]

It's impossible to know if your spiritual formation strategy is working unless you measure it and track your results.

@Panthers fans, I am starting the @SteveSmithSr89 for Offensive Coordinator hype train. Who is with me?

[Shane Bruce @SBruceNC]

I love being a part of a church @JohnsonFerry who takes seriously sharing the gospel 🙏🙏

[Shane Bruce @SBruceNC]

Organizational development is useful. Buildings serve a purpose. Programs are a means to an end. Traditions are nice. But God’s vision for your church is always focused on changing the lives of people.

This game cannot continue until those that love Damar Hamlin can know and digest how he is doing. Let’s pray for him until then.🙏🙏
