Why Cho’s Cell Model Doesn’t Work in NA

Larry Osborne’s book Sticky Church is worth the purchase price for chapter 18 alone. In it he points out the problems inherent in Dr. Cho’s Korean model when applied in a North American context.

He points out the challenges:

A radically different view of Christianity.
A radically different view of authority.
A radically different society.

I’m currently reading Sticky Church by Larry Osborne. Here’s a quote:

“Whatever you do to reach people, you have to continue to do to keep them”

His point is that we often set aside special days and events to attempt to reach people but then, when they show up the next week it is nothing to compare with the previous.

Christians Are Hate-Filled Hypocrites?

Ed Stetzer of Lifeway Research has an interesting post about a new book by sociologist Bradley Wright titled “Christians are Hate-Filled Hypocrites . . . and Other Lies You’ve Been Told: A Sociologist Shatters Myths from the Secular and Christian Media.”

It’s well worth checking out.

Looking Into The Future

I was reading Ed Stetzer’s blog where he commented on the denominational meeting of the Foursquare Church. As part of the election of a new president they prepared questionnaires which were completed by the two candidates for the position. The man who was elected president, Glenn Burris provided the following prescription for a church looking into the future.

Shift from being a corporate culture to a cause culture.
Shift from a culture of maintaining to a culture of mentoring.
Move from our current parenting culture to a partnering culture both nationally and globally.

One statement that stood out to me was this “We need to restock the shelves of Foursquare leadership”

It’s interesting that much of what he said also applies to the organization which I am a part of.

Propagandists And The Church

admin — Tue, 25 May 2010 15:44:00 +0000

I’m currently reading "Under The Unpredictable Plant" by Eugene Peterson.

Speaking of the reality of churches and ministries he writes "Propagandists are abroad in the land lying to us about what congregations are and can be. They are lying for money. They want to make us discontent with what we are doing so we will buy a solution from them that they promise will restore virility to our impotent congregations. The profit-taking among those who market these spiritual monkey glands indicates that pastoral gullibility in these matters is endless."

Catalyst Digital Leadership Magazine

If you haven’t seen it already, Catalyst has a free leadership magazine which includes video clips. I’m not a huge fan of Rob Bell but he has some good things to say in his clip. Some food for thought.

There is also a great clip of Andy Stanley speaking about leadership, influence and the need for integrity.
