A must-read: Back2Front Evangelism

Mark at madetopraisehim has posted a wonderful post on evangelism. What he writes makes evangelism look more like Kingdom dynamics at work rather than pressure tactics for conversions.
Good News is powerful. Putting a smile on somebody’s face is powerful. Making the checkout girl’s day at the supermarket is powerful. Cutting your neighbour’s lawn with a […]

Book review: Off-Road Disciplines of Missional Leaders

Just reviewed “Off-Road Disciplines of Missional Leaders” in Amazon as part of the deal that I had with the publishers. I got the book for free if only I wrote a review at amazon. The folowing were my thoughts on the book:
The cure for the irrelevance of the gospel to today’s culture requires […]

When the comments are better than the posts

In response to the four “Christian vs. Christ Follower” series of videos that were featured here, a good friend sent in this beauty via email:
I was enjoying showing the Chrisitan vs Christ Follower videos to my brother in law, when the Lord started tugging on something in my heart. It’s very cool to […]

When the Holy Spirit descends on a home group

Tuesday night we had out home-group at home ( ) and we were enjoying a cool time in the Holy Spirit, thick presence, great flow in worship and in the middle of the worship time the Holy Spirit started stirring up a few things in one particular sister’s heart. She suddenly felt conviction […]

Holy Schwauzers!

Wednesday was my birthday people! Yes, I would say that I feel as if you had added a few grey hairs to my head, but I am bald, so that would be out of the question. Anyways, I came home today expecting a birthday card but instead I got one of these:

Fire starter: The never heard voice

(By guest author Pastor Angel Nava, La Paz, Mexico)

…Do not lay a hand on the boy…do not do anything to him… (Gen 22:12)
In one of the most misunderstood passages from the Holy Scriptures, it is described that God asked the patriarch Abraham to offer in sacrifice his son Isaac. Many a time Abraham […]

Help needed: Hard questions from the inbox

My inbox is normally a benign environment, hosting “Faith Fodder.” Stuff that I delight in: “Revival Fire” network emails of powerful testimonies, Fresh Fire Ministries Teaching of the week, you get the picture.
Inbox nirvana is no longer. I have someone asking hard questions at the moment regarding our church:

I feel that the […]

Just do it?

Heads-up people: Mark, living in good Ol’ Scotland, and blogging in madetopraisehim has a great post entitled “When we shouldn’t ask“. In it he proposes that much of our shortcomings in being effective Kingdom Ambassadors may stem from asking the Father for stuff He has already given us, or asking Him to do […]

More on re-digging wells of Revival

Revivalist and church planter Larry Silverman has pointed me to a gem of a book. In his blog post, “So you think you have Revival?” he directed me to a free eBook on the life and ministry of Rev. Raymond T. Richey, a little-known Revivalist that was used mightily by the Lord.
Larry, you made […]

It really sounded like “Bring a chair”!

OK so on Friday night we had a joint meeting between six churches in Gibraltar.  It was awesome.  This stuff has never happened in Gibraltar before.  There is a good unity developing between us….but I digress…….
 The week before the meting I run into this local pastor in the local supermarket and he confirms:  “Meeting is […]

The two excuses of unbelief

The two responses excuses of unbelief:

“It’s been done before”
“It’s never been done before”

Taking inspiration from this post (that deals with business ideas), I propose that unbelief will always function at these two levels to try to dilute what God is doing NOW.
One heart response says: “been there…done that” The other says: “No one’s been there….or […]
