When Your Heart Feels Hurried by Holley Gerth
Last updated on: December 4, 2010 at 2:58 pm By editorconvergingzone
‘Tis the season to be busy.There are gifts to buy, meals to make, trips to take, decorations to be hung, songs to be sung, places to go, people to see… It’s December 1st and I’m already tired. Anyone else? I read the words… Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10But how can I be still when there’s so much going on?Of course, the first answer is to simplify my life.Yet the kind of stillness God is talking... Read more

Joining the Generations by James W. Goll
Last updated on: December 4, 2010 at 2:16 pm By editorconvergingzone
Thinking Generationally The modern Church must rediscover the mind-set of thinking generationally. First, no one but the Father knows when Jesus will return—it could be today, tomorrow, or many years from now—and second, God Himself always thinks and acts generationally. For too long, too many members of the Body of Christ have considered themselves part of a terminal generation. It is time to change that way of thinking. Each generation of Christians needs to see itself as a bridge generation... Read more

Development Is Primarily Relational by Graham Cooke
Last updated on: December 3, 2010 at 11:27 pm By editorconvergingzone
God wants us to know Him in the same way that He knows us. In every circumstance there is an inbuilt summons to an upgrade in our experience of Him. He is always making overtures to us that demonstrate His love, joy and favor over our lives. He loves His people. He seeks our enjoyment of being through our encounter and experience of Him in the rough and tumble of life. In every circumstance I have one question in my... Read more

Information Saturated Society by Greg Austin
Last updated on: December 3, 2010 at 11:24 pm By editorconvergingzone
“Semper discentes et numquam ad scientiam veritatis pervenientes” (The Latin Vulgate, 2 Timothy 3:7). “ . . . always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” (2 Timothy 3:7, New King James Version). Ours is an Information Saturated Society. Indeed, some publications suggest that with the advent of social media in the early 2000s, we have already passed through the Information Age and have entered the “Attention Age.” The increasing volume of information available to...

Royal Ambassadors by James Ryle
Last updated on: December 3, 2010 at 11:19 pm By editorconvergingzone
“And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” (Matthew 10:7) The message has not changed. John the Baptizer said it first, as the forerunner for the Lord Jesus. Then Jesus Himself debuted His own ministry with the same declaration. And now He authorizes His followers to carry the exact same message everywhere we go. More specifically — as we go. This is an important distinction. For if we approach this calling to proclaim the Kingdom with... Read more

When You’re The Leader by Bob Gass
Last updated on: December 3, 2010 at 11:17 pm By editorconvergingzone
The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work. 1 Corinthians 3:8 Church growth consultant Jim Wideman highlights some things you can do to help those looking to you for direction: 1) Put their goals and needs first. You’re a part, not the whole enchilada. Think about how your actions affect others. Be observant of the challenges and setbacks they’re experiencing, and find ways... Read more

Persevere or Drift by Dudley Hall
Last updated on: December 3, 2010 at 11:06 pm By editorconvergingzone
Therefore we must pay much closer attention to what we have heard, lest we drift away from it. (Hebrews 2:1) The Holy Spirit, through the author of Hebrews, presents two alternatives: drifting from the current revelation of God or intentional attention. So, what is the current revelation that is so important? And why is drifting so dangerous? This text was written when some Christians of Jewish heritage were being tempted to return to their Jewishness and neglect the revelation of... Read more

The First Miracle by Francis Frangipane
Last updated on: December 3, 2010 at 11:03 pm By editorconvergingzone
Life. It is the most unique commodity in the universe and inconceivably rare. As far as we can verify, in a cosmic sea of vast, immeasurable emptiness, earth alone is blessed with life. But what is life? The answer I seek is more profound than a mere catalog of what life contains; it is more fundamental than identifying the joys and sorrows of earthly existence. I am asking, what is the substance we call life? We are so completely ingested... Read more

Destined Through Freedom by Robert Ricciardelli
Last updated on: December 3, 2010 at 5:15 pm By Robert Ricciardelli
Servant Leaders are Spirit motivated to help others find their God given destiny, rather than recruiting others into agenda filled systems or corporate visions. The very place where freedom should reign can often become a place where destiny’s are imprisoned by religious systems of man. When people can freely hear God’s voice and His intended purpose for their own lives, the community will flourish. Read more
