Revive Us, Oh God
May 30, 2010
Monday is for Discussion Reality is a significant adrenalin rush when it smacks you in the face. Here’s reality on the US church planting scene. We are failing to reach our children with the gospel.

May 27, 2010
Thursday is for Discipleship “Discipleship is evangelistic before it is formative.” I’ve written about this before (see here).

Even as I write that sentence I become aware of another aspect of the problem. Words have changed … More If We Aren’t Fishing for Men, We Aren’t Following Jesus
