Paralysis By Analysis

Contributed by Jack Warford on Apr 13, 2001

Many churches today have a paralysis brought on by analysis; they are so busy gathering and reporting numbers that their lambs and sheep are not being fed, and their flock is not being cared for. Resulting in spiritual paralysis.

Why are we so fixated on counting numbers? Why do most pastors think of success as it relates to numbers? Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus tell us to count the sheep. He tells Peter if you love Me then you will feed my lambs, care for my sheep, and feed my sheep. Many churches today have a ...read more

Mind Your Busyness

Contributed by Chip Blackshear on Jun 2, 2012

Like a carnival ride, our modern lives seem to be spinning out of control. But busyness is the enemy of the spiritual life. As Elijah discovered, God is not in the busyness - the earthquake, wind and fire - but in the quiet whisper.

The Abiding Life Series

This challenge helps us 2,000 years later to understand what the Christian life is supposed to be about. Would you describe your spiritual life as an ...read more
