reformissionary: Dullness
http://calvarywoodstock.blogspot.com/2005/01/dullness.html
Calling people to follow Jesus. Tuesday, January 11, 2005. The most critical issue facing Christians is not abortion, pornography, the disintegration of the family, moral absolutes, MTV, drugs, racism, sexuality, or school prayer. The critical issue today is dullness. We have lost our astonishment. The Good News is no longer good news, it is okay news. Christianity is no longer life changing. It is life enhancing. Michael Yaconelli in Dangerous Wonder. Page 23 (emphasis his). I eventually threw the book ...

reformissionary: Re-Rocked by Piper
http://calvarywoodstock.blogspot.com/2005/01/re-rocked-by-piper.html
Calling people to follow Jesus. Monday, January 17, 2005. Disclaimer: Sorry for all of you who are sick of Piper quotes. Get over it. I have been doing some "soul searching" lately about ministry and God's calling and direction as I pastor a church in northern Illinois.

We must form the habit of being systematically disturbed by t...

Calling people to follow Jesus. Monday, May 31, 2004. Ducks in a row. Jesus isn't interested in fakes who have all their outward ducks in a row while inwardly they are quacks. Posted by Steve McCoy at 8:36 AM. A woman from Harvard, IL responds to Dan Larsen. Posted by Steve McCoy at 8:32 AM. Friday, May 28, 2004. If inward moral purity is a heart without sin, then a single-minded purity is a heart without rival. Posted by Steve McCoy at 5:45 PM. Outward action not based on inward change is a wayward goal.

Calling people to follow Jesus. Tuesday, January 25, 2005. One of the books I've been re-perusing through our church's vision process is An Unstoppable Force. By Erwin McManus, who is the pastor of Mosaic.

reformissionary: Retreat!
http://calvarywoodstock.blogspot.com/2005/01/retreat.html
Calling people to follow Jesus. Saturday, January 15, 2005. I'm spending a few days on a bit of a planning retreat. It has already been very fruitful. I thought it would be interesting to share some books I've already read that I am taking off the shelf and perusing for nuggets of encouragement and advice (as previously underlined, usually). Here's what I have off the top of my head. If I forgot some, I'll add them later to this post. 9 Marks of a Healthy Church. Brothers, We Are Not Professionals. Well,...
