This Scripture Drives/Directs My #Reimagine Journey
Stop imitating the ideals [and being confined to the traditions of your Church] culture
but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think.
This will empower you to discern God’s will as you [pray and] live a beautiful life,
satisfying and perfect in his eyes. Romans 12:2 The Passion Translation and [my paraphrasing]

Read more…Why Churches Keep “Dying to Self” a Secret Churches that haven’t “died to self” don’t talk about it. You can’t give away what you never had. Despite all the Bible verses stressing the importance of dying to self, it’s rarely mentioned within the comfortable confines of America’s churches. As a result, although it’s a non-negotiable prerequisite for Christ-followers, few churchgoers understand dying to self or live it out. “Crucified with Christ”, “take up your cross”, and “lay down your…

Read more…#Recenter Christ Begins with Re-Placing Self Christianity’s Best Kept Secret One of the most fundamental and critical concepts in Scripture and the Christian faith is rarely mentioned in American churches today.

How God Shaped the Early Ekklēsia
Years ago, I visited a church in South Asia. It quickly became evident that the rectangular building where we met—complete with a cross above the entrance, rows of red plastic chairs facing a handcrafted wooden pulpit, a drum set, loudspeakers, microphones and stands, as well as a soundboard—bore a striking…

Thanks for welcoming me to the Forum. I had thought I was already a member through the Prayer Leaders Network, but the sign in process wouldn’t allow me to sign in using my passwords from that site, so I created another account.
I had wanted to commend the article that I received from y’all by email about dealing with 4 realities that make it difficult for Intercessors/prayer ministry leaders and pastors/church leadership to build a praying culture in the church. I thought it was very insightful and a helpful perspective. Thank you for the article.
Hi Phil.
As a new member, I received 2 emails from you.
The first, informing me that my membership had been approved, contained 4 links all containing significant errors. None of the links worked, but I was able to deduce what the errors were so correct them for access. Not a good start! You should examine the links in the email that was sent two me to ensure this doesn't happen to other new members.
Links in the second email regarding my profile appear to be OK.
Steve
Thank you!
Thanks, Bro!!!
