Making Disciples
Felicity and I are spending this weekend in Winnsboro, TX with Dan and Laurel Hubbell. They have two young Africans staying with them for six weeks, so that they can pour their lives into these two who in turn will live out what they are learning within the churches that they lead in Africa. Six weeks to help just two people. And that includes opening up your home, your marriage, your finances ( to help cover costs of travel from Africa and looking after two extra for meals, etc.). No gimmicks,…Numbers may not be everything, but someone was spiritual enough to count the new believers on the Day of Pentecost!
I'm not a great numbers guy. In fact, one of the reasons that there is nothing to "join" in House2House is that Felicity and I feel very clear that the Lord does not want us building something that people belong to. Now don't get me wrong! I think there is great value in belonging. We all like belonging to things, identifying with others that we are similar to. But for us we know that the Lord is asking us to keep away from anything that might look like something that we "control" or get the cre…Today is the Day!
Indeed, the “right time” is now. Today is the day! – 2 Cor 6:2 (NLT)I know, I know, I have pulled that verse, or part of a verse anyway, right out of context. But since it says exactly what I wanted to say, I have used it anyway. If you know a better way to grab everyone’s attention, then I am open to hear it.
You see today is the day for two very important reasons, at least from my point of view:
1. Our first book with Tyndale is published today! The Rabbit and The Elephant, which has been c…

Neue – The Quartely Digest
I just received Issue 3 of “Neue” … the new Christian digest. Boy, am I impressed. I thought this would be a magazine. It’s not. It’s a digest. Over 200 pages. And full color with awesome graphics and images. Editor Jeff Goins interviewed me in this edition. Love the formatting they used for it. Lots of other neat articles [...]
Each Day is a Gift & Free Audio
Just returned from a wonderful conference in Canada. We had over 200 show up and during each meeting the attendance grew larger rather than diminished. It was a beautiful time. I’ve come to love Canada and the saints there. On the more private side, as I was made known of the deaths of three celebrities this week, I [...]

I just read this again, 9 months later, and it still knocks my sox off. God bless you! and did you ever find a publicist? I rejoice with you over your books!!
Sometimes I think we confuse being likeminded with being One in Christ. Believing and thinking the same has to do with being likeminded. It is something to do with our minds. Whereas being One in Him has to do with being born in the spirit realm i...

Hello, Davis family! I haven't been "simple church"-ing in a while due to all kinds of weak excuses, but I just saw that you are looking for a house church in this area. We are too! I don't know of any, but we can always stay connected with you gu...
A way to connect with others planting simple churches in Columbus and the surrounding communities.
This group is for those simple church folks that also homeschool their children.
To share ideas and encourage one another on this Journey.
Is this group active? My family has recently left the institutional church, where my husband was a licenced minister before we decided we no longer agreed with the clergy-laity distinction. We're currently either hoping to get into community with ...

You are so gracious in all of the kind things you have said about The Rabbit and The Elephant. Thank you! If you want to be put in touch with others who are going through or considering similar transitions, we would love you to be in direct contac...
Very few Christians have ever repented from sin. They are still sinners. Repentance is serious business.

It's this kinda thing that makes me believe you still don't understand what's actually being said. Are you suggesting that we should make a concerted effort to do contrary to what any part of the law says in order to avoid being involuntarily plac...
