By Richard Kronk | What does it mean to be called? Many people in and out of the Church have opinions about the definition of this word. But its slippery meaning makes it hard to claim or verify. Perhaps it’s also hindering engagement in the Great Commission.
By Phill Butler | While Western culture praises individualism, God did not design us to go it alone. Scripture reveals that collaboration in life and ministry yields long-lasting fruit.
By Samson L. Uytanlet | Was tentmaking Paul’s intentional missions strategy? Or did Paul simply make tents during his missionary journeys because it was his profession? A deeper look at New Testament passages about Paul’s tentmaking work reveals a more nuanced answer.
By KyungMi Seo | The church in Korea grew rapidly for more than 100 years. This growth happened as the result of Koreans who carefully studied Scripture, zealously evangelized, and managed churches on their own without relying on missionaries. However, the church has declined during the last 20 years. A leadership model in the church that too closely resembles Confucianism and Shamanism may be a significant factor.
By Marcia Strauss | Many of us have been inspired by a story of a person who was a prayer warrior. But this model of individual prayer often reflects our cultural and personal bent toward individualism. This is not wrong, but it is an incomplete view of prayer. Praying together with others is also an essential part of our growth together and with God.
By Madison Strauder | Prayer guides can be an important way to engage the Church in participating in God’s mission. These simple tools help us steward the story of the nations and invite the global Church to join in fervent prayer for the unreached.
