Revolution of Ordinaries

The space between Egypt and the Promised land is the wilderness. It is where God takes you to free you from what you are/were enslaved to, to prepare you for something more.

In the wilderness, the slavery mindset gets transformed into a freedom mindset. That stripping away process is painful!

How does God use the wilderness to accomplish this?

By taking you to a place where you cannot make it without Him. He takes you there where we must depend on Him in all things. We come to realize that the bread of slavery is nothing compared to the Word of God...that people will not live by bread alone (even the slaves get bread) but by every word that comes from the mouth of God. Who hears every word from the Father? True children!

When we finally learn to rely on Him, firmly and persistently...we are ready for the glorious freedom found with God in the promised land.

Stay in the freedom of the promised land long enough and it becomes normal...it can become boring and we can become complacent.

And that is why throughout the story, God keeps telling us to remember Him! Even when you are in houses you didn't build, drinking from wells you didn't dig...don't forget the Lord and forget He did this for you!

The challenge is to keep depending on God fully even when the landscape becomes more generous and forgiving.

What kind of wilderness has God brought you through?

Ever been called a "False teacher?" Probably by someone you never met who did a drive by comment on the internet...usually that is a sign they don't know how to back up their point. But it begs the question, what makes someone a false teacher vs just being mistaken?

Here is my answer to the question coming out of 2 Peter 2:1! Would love to hear your thoughts.

What makes church, church?

We know church is not a building or an address on a map. Church is a gathered people.

Q1 - But what makes that gathered people "church" and not something else? (Many of you will want to use ekklesia or gathering or another term and I totally get that!)

Q2 - Does the gathered people need to be participating in specific things for that gathering to be "church" or can those Christians be gathered for anything (basket weaving competition) and still be church?

For example - when we gather on Sunday and do specific things together, we consider that church.

Q3 - If that then moves to a potluck, is that church too or something else? And if 10% of the people come back on Wednesday for Bible class, is that also church even though some of the things we associate with church on Sunday aren't happening?

Q4 - And if that same group meets on Thursday evening for a totally secular-focused event (watch the Superbowl) is that also still church?

Q5 - Last, what makes the small group of a church a ministry of the larger church and not a church? And is it a church if it fits the criteria of church even if they elders say it is another ministry of the larger body?

In short, what makes church, church?

This may sound trivial or nitpicky but it will serve a purpose!

I will give my answers in the comments in a bit. First, I want to hear from you.

Looking for a simple approach to making disciples? I get asked this question quite a bit. Maybe you have wondered where to start! I wondered this for quite some time before I got help to get going!

I hope this helps you get going as very few Christians have an approach to making disciples...even if you don't do exactly this, it will give you an idea to encourage you to get started!

God has a way of connecting people! And prayer is often involved.

Last week we were praying for some home church help in Oregon...God answered!

Last week...we were praying for someone to disciple a new Christian in Berlin...God answered!

We continue to pray for help in Culver City/LA, CA.

It is amazing when you get a message from someone in the city you are praying for! God is amazing.
