"John,
AMEN and AMEN!
My prayer is for all Christian leaders to turn themselves and their flocks in this direction.
We need to RE-IMAGINE and REMEMBER. Jesus’ Disciples had no building or money (Matthew 10:9-10, Luke…"
"I am an unpaid, non-pastoral layperson.
As I ponder our situation, I find these answers bothersome:
Christians are perceived by secularists as using freedom of religion as an expression of partisan politics.
When we disregard…"
"I still remember the lesson of "so that" you preached at Community Church of Rolling Meadows, Illinois years ago.
Without issuing a mental or verbal "so that," "so that" is a good thing to consider before…"
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From an unpaid, non-pastoral lay person:Saw a sign that read, "The Church has left the Building," in front of a church in Palatine, Illinois on May 9th.They had added more to their sign below this phrase, probably about on-line worship and stuff.But I really didn’t see that part.I HAD ALREADY RECEIVED GOD’S MESSAGE!!!!!!!!!See More
"I would also start with "Citizenship." Christian leaders and especially laity, should live their faith "in the streets." A Christian does not need to be proselytizing to be Evangelizing.
If actions speak…"
""Empty exercises and rituals in our churches." What purpose do they serve? As a layperson, it seems to me they are often used to control congregations--keep them busy with church activities, church business and fund raising--so…"
"Clearly Gary E. Blackwell is a Re-imaginer. He recognizes that some of modern Evangelism is all about obtaining professions for Christ. In the same way, some of the building of bricks and mortar congregations is all about…"
There is a TV insurance commercial that says, "Only pay for what you need." The problem with that is that for what I only need, there is no way I could pay.

WHAT KIND OF FISH?
Mark 1:16-17 (NIV)Jesus Calls His First DisciplesAs Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” In the fishing industry, some fish for salmon. Some fish for tuna. Some fish for haddock, etc. Are those joining the Re-imagine FORM becoming fishers of Christians?See More
"In your interview format there is this segment:
What roadblocks or resistance, barriers and boundaries, inhibit or prevent leaders from pursuing a discernment-assessment when they commence a journey to re-imagine ministry?
-Fear
-Assuming…"
"Questions from a friend relative to the post above.
Q: Do you believe that the OT prophet stuff was meant for only the Jews, or did it apply to everyone, currently living at the time it was uttered, and…"

- Think outside of the bricks and mortar box. The Universal church has no walls, no congregational separations.
The simple, clear message of Christ is the Giving of, and the receiving of, Grace. Use all He has placed in your trust, including human logic, to share, and not scare, people with this Good News.

Will God Bless America One More Time?
“A fool takes no pleasure in understanding, but only in expressing his opinion.”— Proverbs 18:2.
Too bad the USA has this separation of church and state when it comes to political discussions. This separation, as pertains to Proverbs 18:2, has turned us into fools.
Since we now…

WHY SHOULD GOD BLESS AMERICA?
God bless America. That is the poorest excuse for a prayer I’ve ever heard.
Americans bark out that demand hundreds of times every minute of every day. That phrase has no humility. That phrase has no confession of need. That phrase offers no supplication.
Issuing this command to God is blasphemous.
A proper prayer for God’s blessing would be, at a minimum, “God, please bless America.”
A more appropriate prayer would be, “God, we have pushed you to the…
