The Children and Prayer class blog presented by Wheatland Ministries has been updated.  This was necessary because some of the links no longer worked, and other technical “updates” to the blog were made in the past by Google. 

 

The Blog should work well now.  If you have visited it in the past, please…

 To this were you called—it is inseparable from your vocation.

  Christ suffered for you, leaving you His personal example,

          so that you should follow on in His footsteps.

               1 Peter 2:21 THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE

 

 

 

In a chaotic world, cultivate a calm…

Lance Wallnau, says, “You get to choose the environment you create. You can create an environment that draws people to the Kingdom or pulls them out.” 

Rather than adopting your street with the intention of implementing program, folks who join ‪http:lovejax2020.org and sign up to adopt their street spend time…

Tim Keller says, "We should not decide how to pray based on the experiences and feelings we want. Instead, we should do everything possible to behold our God as he is, and prayer will follow." Maybe that's why we need to build and maintain a prayer altar in our heart? We need to be there, in God's Presence, not just ‘experience’ His kingdom power, peace and prosperity.

Years ago, my view of prayer was radically changed by a little booklet entitled, My Heart, Christ’s Home.  …

"Stop calling some neighborhoods good and some bad!.... It categorically denies the dignity, worth, and value that God places in every human being, meanwhile, minimizing the ugliness and sin that exists in our own hearts and the lives of those who live in neighborhoods we think of as good ones," says our friend, Ruth Arnold, the Director 2nd Mile Ministries.

If we read and absorb this blog, I believe we will find that Ms Arnold has pulled a fast one on…

Take the LoveJax2020 Challenge


"It's a cultural change that needs to take place," said Sheriff John Rutherford, who was joined by several pastors. "...We cannot arrest our way out of a murder problem or violence problem. We have to start changing hearts." The Sheriff is correct. The only real solution to the culture of violence in this city is to change people. And, the only way to change people is through a transforming encounter with God.

We would like to invite you to join us in a movement with the goal of giving…

How far can love go?


Adopting the simple and powerful lifestyle of praying, caring and sharing the love of Jesus Christ with those around us reminds us that if we follow Jesus, we would never have to worry about getting it wrong or drifting astray.  We could forget about “who gets the credit” and just walk with Jesus.

 If we needed to pray, he would kneel and invite us to kneel with him.  If we needed to care, he would show us where and how.   If we needed to share, he would be sure someone crossed our…

LoveJax2020: Give Love A Try


We pray that by the year-end of 2020, every person in Jacksonville would be authentically loved by at least one follower of Jesus.

 

We believe that the greatest gift we can give a person is an opportunity to know that God loves them and cares deeply about them. Such love is not an emotion, but a choice.

 

Followers of Jesus do not love on the basis of how we feel because real love is not a transaction based upon performance, but upon a relationship.  This…

It takes more than a great church to reach a city, it takes a great movement of churches. This video featuring an interview with Tom McLeod reminds us all that the Church's core mission is to offer people creative ways to bless your neighbors.

From the very beginning, God’s way of reaching and restoring the world has always been through what I would call a blessing strategy…how do we in a very practical way that’s theologically grounded explain to people how they could…

What are the Foundations of a City Transformation "Prayer-Care-Share" Movement?

Since the primary focus of our missional mandate in Jacksonville is to “empower leaders to equip Christians to embrace a 'prayer-care-share' lifestyle,” it is incumbent upon us to understand the nature of the commitments and characteristics that have been instrumental in the on going city-transformation movement known as Pray Elk River. For more than twenty years, both pastors and marketplace Christians have partnered together to see a city and region transformed. They embrace Jesus’ prayer in…

What does a transformed city look like?

The power of the church rests in the kingdom of God! What does a transformed city look like? In what ways should the presence of the Lord impact our culture, communities, and society? How can I be more effective in bringing the presence of the Lord into my circle of influence? http://cway.to/1BsqYkB

Did you think to Pray?

 Prayer is more important than you think. I guarantee it. Jesus said, "My house, my house, shall be a house of prayer." Did we forget to be a praying church while trying to be a missional church, a purpose-driven church, a NCD church, a seeker-sensitive church, etc?

Adopt-Your-Street

 Do you realize you are vital to the growing spiritual harvest that is taking place in this city? Every person in Jacksonville needs to hear and have the opportunity to respond to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. And we believe that God has given Transform Jacksonville & NE Florida a powerful approach to accomplish this goal through the “bless-fellowship-minister-declare” core principles of the #LoveJax2020 initiative.  Beginning in 2015, Transform Jacksonville & NE Florida is working with a new…

How do we use a blessing strategy to reach our cities for Jesus?

Citrus Greening

In the past 13 years Florida has had three wake-up calls. The first was on 9/11. Two of the terrorists trained in Florida and President Bush was in Florida on 9/11. Florida had a role to play in the nation during this time. The second wake-up for the State came through the economic downturn which impacted Florida more severely than most states. With both of these events, Florida did not recognize her destiny as a forerunner to the nation. She did not discern God’s voice calling her just like…
