Book Description
In 2020s Foresight, authors Tom Sine and Dwight Friesen seek to "wake up" Christian leaders and those whom they serve to the realities that leaders in other fields must deal with all the time. We are no longer simply living in changing times. We live in the reality that we are racing into a new world of accelerating change. The authors want to enable leaders in churches and Christian organizations to learn how to lead in this time of acceleration. They focus on three vital practices: foresight (analyzing the accelerating changes and anticipating new opportunities and strategies for addressing change); reflection (discerning biblical purposes for times like these); and creating innovative ways to engage new challenges so as to advance God's purposes in our lives, congregations, and organizations in the 2020s. The book is intended to equip Christian leaders to anticipate some of the new challenges in the 2020s; discover God's shalom purposes for our lives, the church, and God's world; and create innovative new possibilities for our lives, communities, and congregations that both engage new opportunities and advance God's purposes.

Strategic Planning for Christian Organizations
Author: Guy Saffold
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
Leaders know they should plan for the future but are often uncertain of how to do it. Strategic planning can seem too "corporate." Is it right to use a technique from the business world in ministry?God is a master planner whose plans extend from one end of time to the other. We are created in his image to be like him including in our capacity to discern his will and to formulate plans to follow him. Dr. Saffold draws on the Bible to show that planning strategically is a thoroughly biblical discipline that when rooted in faith, prayer and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit can help a ministry realize God's direction and future.By reading this book you will learn how to:*Orient your planning team to think about the future from God's perspective and to work through the process from a perspective of faith and prayer.*Think flexibly and strategically about leadership with a clear plan for the future but also sensitivity to the Spirit's leading at every step. Clarify an inspiring mission for your organization and use it to shape every aspect of your organization. *Discern a compelling vision for the future that can motivate action for progress toward the goal. *Assess your organization's current internal and external environment as the basis for determining next steps. *Develop high level initiatives and strategies to focus your efforts and resources on what really matters. *Manage results, evaluating progress against goals and adjusting plans and strategies as the future unfolds.The book is filled with examples of how planning can be done. Exercises and forms are included that will help you move from a desire to plan to effective leadership of your planning team.Ultimately, strategic planning is about putting into effective practice a biblical philosophy of leadership and action, the true end goal of this book.The book includes a complete sample strategic plan that illustrates how the process fits together."To read Guy Saffold's book is to read his mind. Strategic thinking is his trademark: strategic planning a natural outcome. Born out of the dynamics that shaped Trinity Western University, Strategic Planning for Christian Organizations illustrates clearly how the power of vision can be turned into effective ministry. The illustrations are factually accurate; the conclusions convincing. But basic to the whole thesis is the underlying assumption that intervention by a sovereign God provides both the anticipation and sense of reward for planners dependent on him and sensitive to his leading." -- R. Neil Snider, President, Trinity Western University

Political Gospel
Author: Patrick Schreiner
Publisher: B&H Publishing Group
ISBN: 1087755204
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Christians are constantly being accused of being too political or not political enough. Often, the accusations are fair. Christians tend to get stuck in one of two political ditches: we either privatize our faith or make it partisan. We think religion and politics should be separate and never intermingle, or we align so tightly with a political party that we conflate the gospel with a human agenda. In Political Gospel, Patrick Schreiner argues Christianity not only has political implications but is itself a politic. The gospel at its very core is political––Jesus declared Himself to be King. But He does not allow you to put Him in your political box. In a supercharged political climate, Political Gospel explores what it means for Christians to have a biblical public witness by looking to Scripture, the early church, and today. Should we submit to governing authorities or subvert them? Are we to view them as agents of the dark forces or entities that promote order? In these pages, we’ll see that Christians live in a paradox, and we’ll see how to follow Christ our King right into the political craziness of our day.
