Act I: Why kill a movement when you can kill the idea…
If you had the other teams play-book, and knew in advance when they would execute those plays, you certainly would have a great advantage.

Whether or not “The Gospel” can be narrowed down to a presentation or a “Plan of Salvation,” is of secondary concern to this post.

If there can be strange fire in worship, then what about discipleship?
There is a principle in certain denominations called the "Regulative Principle," and it mostly applies to how we worship God. In a nut shell, the regulative principle states:
"The acceptable way of worshiping the true God is instituted by himself, and so limited by his own revealed will,…
The question as to whether any given text of scripture is prescriptive or descriptive can be ascertained by good biblical interpretive practices. Some important…
Making Disciples on facebook was started a little over a year ago, and has been the center of discussion about all things having to do with Making Disciples for quite some time. There are over 10,000 hits daily on this site and it is genuinely a community of believers who engage in love and deep thoughtfulness. I urge you to visit us and "like" our…
