"In our weakness He is Strong. Absolutely.
In wealth, men do not realize they are weak, thus He cannot make wealthy men strong."

"From Sammy Tippit:
I don't know if you are interested in this, but here is the greatest movement of discipleship/evangelism that I've come across. We are planning a major discipleship/evangelism outreach in 2020. Here is a link of a…"
"Phil,
Note the reply immediately above was to your comment on your hope for Evangelism."
"AMEN! But, the logical side of discipleship wonders if those "not yet aware that they are Found" (a #Reimagining of "The Lost") stumble over the perception of Evangelism in our current CULTure.
The Evangelism of Jesus…"
"Some further sharing from prayer. Maybe Evangelism needs to be separated from Discipleship.
The most noted from of Discipleship in America is Evangelism. The repudiation of that method should be honestly evaluated. What do…"
"The Church needs to reimagine discipleship because the old ways are not working with modern men. As Mr. Spock would say, "It's not logical."
In the first century, people were so much less knowledgeable about things. 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 sidelines. You Remain there Waiting for…See More

"This is the first step in exploring a "logical" approach to evangelism.
The metaphor is based on the old spiritual, "Dem Bones." In a led discussion, the introduction would include a partial recounting (maybe in song) of a…"
"Rick,
This is an interesting metaphor ... can you unpack that a little more?
How does that insight (potentially) change the way we grow as disciples? Make disciples?
Phil"
Where is it?
I had been in and out of prayer this morning. Then I was Given this to think about.Humans are made up of the physical and the spiritual. The physical part we can readily see. The spiritual we can only see manifestations thereof.So where, exactly, is the spiritual located inside the human body? The heart? The brain? I couldn’t figure it out.My best guess is that the spiritual in a human body is where the “brain bone” is connected to the “heart bone.”See More
