Christ's Strategy to Transform Nations
Author: Mark A. Beliles
Publisher: Createspace Independent Publishing Platform
ISBN: 9781539488712
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
Christ's Strategy to Transform Nations is a comprehensive look at the Biblical best practices that over history have proven to transform nations for good. Dr. Mark Beliles, Ph.D., draws from his 30 years of studying Christian thought and actions in many nations. He has personally visited over 50 nations as well. His research led him to a startling find: Never has prayer, church growth and revival been enough to significantly transform a nation. He discovered that the missing element is found in Christ's Great Commission to "disciple the nations." When Christians have intentionally focused on not only training leaders for the church itself but also the nation, eventually the culture is changed. The Pilgrims who settled America and the Founding Fathers shared in this commitment and they founded the most transformed nation in history. But today most of it is lost. Business as usual for the modern church is not working. We must return to the historically-proven practices that transforms culture. Following the signs that Christ said would follow them, the book presents 3 major practices for 5 different areas of life. Rich with historical examples, and modern testimonies, the reader comes away not just inspired, but prepared to begin developing a long-term strategic plan for his own community.

Spent Matches
Author: Roy Moran
Publisher: Thomas Nelson
ISBN: 071803063X
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Spent Matches explores the possibility that a few small paradigm shifts within the church might make the difference between extinction and effectiveness. In fact, taking a clue from the automobile industry, the church might be able to not only halt the rapid decay in attendance but also become an effective tool in achieving Jesus' final command. For instance, the Hybrid car has become the answer to Detroit's environmental and oil crisis issues. Finding the synergy between two technologies, gas and electric has created a new day for the auto industry. Likewise, Spent Matchesexplores how the church can find synergy between two seemingly competing thoughts: an invitation to come and a command to go. The Hybrid metaphor brings energy to the church's mission and an explanation to the age-old argument of Missional versus Attractional methods. Features include: Innovative ideas for growing the church Methods to reach those who may never have attended church Scripture passages that touch on the subject of church growth

"Few books have had as great an impact on the cause of world evangelization in our generation as Robert Coleman's "The Master Plan of Evangelism.""--Billy Graham It all started when Jesus called a few men to follow him and share God's message with their neighbors.

DiscipleShift
Author: Jim Putman
Publisher: Zondervan
ISBN: 0310492637
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 241
Book Description
Question: What is the God-given purpose of the local church? Answer: Relational discipleship. DiscipleShift walks you through five key "shifts" that churches must make to refocus on the fundamental biblical mission of discipleship. These intentional changes will attract the world and empower your church members to be salt and light in their communities. Over the last thirty years, many influential church leaders and church planters in America have adopted various models for reaching unchurched people. While many of these approaches have merit, something is still missing, something even more fundamental to the mission of the church: discipleship. Making disciples—helping people to trust and follow Jesus—is the church's God-given mandate. Devoted disciples attract people outside the church because of the change others see in their Christ-like lives. And discipleship empowers Christians to be more like Christ as they intentionally develop relationships with non-believers. Through biblical and professional insights, Jim Putman and Bobby Harrington discuss the transformational effectiveness of making disciples and just how to do so, in practical terms. You’ll learn: The specific roles of a disciple-making pastor. The components of person-to-person discipleship. How each ministry in your church leads to discipleship. How to implement discipleship in your church. Disciple-making leaders will not produce perfect churches, but they will create effective churches.

Pages : 256
Book Description
By returning to what we once had...We can recover what we once enjoyed. In the early centuries Christianity was an explosive, viral movement that spread by word of mouth. Persecution could not stop it. In fact, it often helped to spread it. But today, the gospel is no longer spreading like wildfire throughout the Western world. Slowly, Christianity has morphed into something much different...a stable institutionalized religion that no longer grips us with the excitement and spirituality of the early years. Ross Rohde believes that this excitement and passion can be recaptured. In Viral Jesus he uses examples from the Bible and today to explore how we can return to our roots and once again enjoy the excitement, simple spirituality, and explosive growth of early Christianity.
