 "Spring is here and this season is a great opportunity to reach out to your community and show them God's love in practical ways."  When Servant Evangelism Becomes Routine by Marty Boller "As I look back, I see how my church went from having a 'freely-received-freely-given' attitude about servant evangelism to a programming mode that can make SE all about growing our church and measuring for results. Sadly, as we grow larger, the concept of random acts of kindness tend to evolve into highly-developed, well-planned-out programs of servant evangelism. And somehow, someway, the true joy of doing SE for the right reasons is nearly lost."  "Burnout is a regular problem with anyone who reaches out. Jesus was in nearly continual outreach mode in his three-year ministry so he found it necessary to take on a number of mindsets in order to live with spiritual centeredness. Here are a few of Jesus' points of view you might find encouraging."  "I did everything by the book, but the results were minimal in comparison to what everyone else was "getting". Was there something wrong with me? Was I really called? Is this really what God wanted me to do, start a church from scratch?"
 5 Launching Lessons From Johnny Appleseed by Steve Sjogren "Johnny understood it's about activism, not mere talk, nor continual preparation study, nor the accruing of more cool conference notebooks. He was all about taking risks and getting out there. If he were alive in 2012 his motto would be, "Missional schmissional! Stop the incessant talk, stop being a chicken and just do it for Pete's sake!" | |
