The Best Kept Secret of Christian Mission
Author: John Dickson
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310572029
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 230
Book Description
This book comes out of years of reflection, failures, and some successes in the task of reaching out to others with the gospel. Many Christians think of the task of mission as an entirely verbal activity, when perhaps the best kept secret of New Testament teaching about mission is that it involves a whole range of activities that explicitly promote Christ to the world and draw others to him, and only a few of them involve speaking. Without diminishing or downplaying the importance of speaking the gospel, John Dickson shows that, on the other hand, downplaying the range of activities that promote Christ to the world has its own set of problems. It can make those who are not confident about speaking—of anything, let alone Jesus—feel inadequate and self-conscious in the task of reaching out to others. Equally, it can make those who do have a flair for speaking feel as though they are fulfilling Christ’s mission just by talking. But the reality is that the Lord wants our whole life, not just our lips, in the task of bringing the gospel to the world. Every facet of our lives can be used by God to promote the news of his power and mercy. In this practical guide to the biblical art of sharing your faith, John Dickson offers refreshing insight into the ways that all Christians can and should be involved in spreading the good news of Jesus. While not all Christians are called and gifted to become evangelists, we are all called to promote the gospel through a wide range of activities—prayer, financial partnership, good deeds, godly lives, public worship, daily conversation, etc.—with and without our lips. As readers engage with this book, grapple with its arguments and hear the stories of people coming to faith, they will be inspired to see the whole of life as significant for bringing the gospel to the world, and they will be liberated out of guilt and self-consciousness in evangelism into becoming perfectly natural promoters of Jesus Christ.

Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome
Author: R. Kent Hughes
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433521016
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 202
Book Description
Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.

Gospel-Centered Discipleship
Author: Jonathan K. Dodson
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433530244
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 178
Book Description
Reflecting on the practice of disciple making in young adult, college, graduate, and local church contexts, Jonathan Dodson has discerned some common pitfalls. For many, discipleship is reduced to a form of religious performance before God. For others, it devolves into spiritual license and a loose adherence to spiritual facts. Both approaches distort biblical motivations for Christian obedience and are in need of reform. By explaining various motivations for discipleship, Dodson charts a biblically faithful, grace-driven alternative. Additionally, he provides a practical model for creating gospel-centered discipleship groups—small, reproducible, missional, gender-specific groups of believers that fight for faith together. This book blends both theology and practice to inspire and equip Christians to effectively fight sin, keep Jesus central, and make gospel-centered discipleship a way of life. Both new and growing Christians will learn to trust the gospel in community as they fight together for holiness as well as how to start gospel-centered community groups in any local church.

The Book Your Pastor Wishes You Would Read
Author: Christopher Ash
Publisher: The Good Book Company
ISBN: 1784984329
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 95
Book Description
Caring for your pastor and the difference it makes. Caring for your pastor and the difference it makes. What do you think about your pastor? Do you chew over his sermons and wonder if they are clear and helpful? Do you feel he spends enough time with you? In fact, do you ever catch yourself wondering what he does all day? The truth is, often we think, "What can my pastor do for me?" Far less often do we think, "What can I do for my pastor?" Seasoned former pastor, Christopher Ash, urges church members to think about pastors not just in terms of what they do €“ how they lead and pray and preach and teach and so on €“ but about who they are. He encourages us to remember that pastors are people and to pray for them as they serve us. Paradoxically, caring for our pastor will be a blessing to us as well as to them, and create a culture of true fellowship in our church family.

Book Description
The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Prayer (Volume 4) contains the following books: 1) Revolutionary Thoughts on Prayer (Volume 3) 2) Women of the Glory (Volume 1) 3) The Centrality of Prayer 4) Revolutionary Thoughts on fasting 5) From His Prayer Files “Life-Changing Thoughts on Prayer” (Revolutionary Thoughts on Prayer) will produce a revolution in your life concerning your personal prayer vision. It will bring you to see the inadequacy of your perception of prayer. It will push you to want to know and to experience prayer with the author as He travels with Christ around the world in the School and Ministry of Prayer. Women of the glory, such as, in this case, Anna the prophetess, come into the scene to demonstrate that you cannot love the Lord deeply and not be a person of prayer. The place of prayer is the place where the deepest love for the Lord is expressed. A lover who does not live a life of deep and desperate prayer is not a lover, but a liar. A lover who does not habitually go away from the din and dance of the world to commune with his Lord in prayer is not a lover, but a theoretician. The centrality of prayer cannot be overemphasised. Every work of God that is started continued and perpetuated without prayer may end up being a work of the enemy. Prayer must be at the centre of every work of God that will endure. That work is begun in prayer, continued in prayer, sustained in prayer, and finished to completion in prayer. While prayer is central to the accomplishment of God’s purposes, fasting is an acute weapon that the enemy dreads the most. An empty stomach in the presence of God gnaws, paws and gores the enemy terribly. It moves God and the hosts of heaven to siege the enemy, dismantle his setups, confound his counsel and release captives from their hands. In this volume, you will travel through time with the author in his prayer life. You will experience the daily prayer habits that have been cultivated with time. We send this fourth prayer volume out with a cry to the Lord that He should use it to lead the saints into practical praying and fasting, and that prayer should, long, at last, take its central position in the life, affairs, and destiny of every believer in Christ.

ISBN: 1005246823
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 922
Book Description
"The Complete Works of Zacharias Tanee Fomum on Prayer (Volume 3)” contains the following books: 1) Life-Changing Thoughts on Prayer (Volume 2) 2) The Ministry of Supplication 3) Moving God Through Prayer 4) Waiting on the Lord in Prayer 5) Prayer Crusades (Volume 1) The life-changing thoughts on prayer contained in this volume are like the pings that get the believer to detect the will and leading of God in various domains of prayer. Each one of the thoughts is an entire topic to be pursued, explored, and developed to the fullest. As you go through these thoughts, you are travelling with the author along his journey around the world, doing God’s work of ministry, while in the midst of prayer. Supplication is handled from the glaring example of Hannah who, having been barren for a long while, desperately asked God for a baby, as her priced treasure to be given back to Him. In supplication, the supplicant is so desperate that he will not rest and will not receive ‘No’ from God for an answer. This goes on till the point of breakthrough. Those who make requests while keeping other options open are not supplicating. With supplication, there is one request, no options and no plan ‘B’. The reader will also learn how to move God through prayer. There is no way anyone can move God through prayer if he does not know the perfect will of the Lord about what he is praying for. It is those who know God’s will and pray that will back to Him that moves Him through to answer and to do things in response to prayer. God is not obliged to answer prayer that is not in tandem with His will. The dynamics of waiting on the Lord in prayer are not the tools of a rapacious world that wants instantaneous answers to prayer. One may have to abide in ceaseless prayer before the Lord about an issue for a year, ten years, or more, and not give up until the day the Lord answers or gives assurance that He will surely answer. This volume ends with the author’s practical life of prayer crusades, praying with his people. Prayer crusades range from 8 hours, 10 hours or more of personal or group prayer daily for periods ranging from 21 days to 40 days and beyond. In this final part of the volume, the reader finds himself in the prayer crusades, praying with the author and his people.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 140
Book Description
This book is a ROADMAP for Pastors and House Church Leaders! The training of church leaders has been one of Z.T Fomum's main areas of contribution to church growth. Leading a House Church was born out of the burden and need for competent pastors for the growing number of House Churches in the city of Yaounde. The lessons in the book are practical applications of the theory and doctrine developed in The Ministers and the Ministry of the New Covenant—The Challenge of Missions—also written by the author. According to the author, a pastor is a person who bears the flock on his heart. He focus on the character and personality of the one called to take the flock in their arms, as a nurse carries an infant, to bring them to the Promised Land of God. As a veteran on the subject, Z.T. Fomum presents a heart-to-heart exposé on the disciplines of the pastoral ministry, including a broad spectrum of both the practical aspects and the dynamics of leading a house church before God. If you desire to be a pastor, this book will help you on seeking and receiving the pastor's heart. We send them out with a heart-cry that they contribute to produce the type of leaders that are needed for the Lord's flock on the eve of His imminent return.
