Missional Prayer: Early Church
December 11, 2008When I speak of the “early church,” I am referring in particular to the church in Acts in relationship to the mission and prayer. Jesus, God incarnate, had died, was raised, and ascended into heaven. What now? Where do we go from here? Now that their leader has left the scene, what’s going to happen [...]

Word and Spirit in the Early Church
October 17, 2008A couple of months ago, I shared a brief critique on church planting movements while advocating a “word-driven movemental Christianity“. Because of our church’s new church planting initiative, I have been living in the book of Acts quite a bit, which has been rather rewarding. The “word-driven” post speaks to the nature of the Word [...]

Nevertheless, the call of the Great Commission is to take the good news of Jesus Christ to all nations, make disciples, and plant churches in His name, no matter [...]
