Hey Church,
I wasn't going to send a reminder about today's webinar.
I figured people get tired of hearing from me more than once a week.
And we're heading into a holiday weekend here in the U.S., so people are busy with that and with summer a stuff, right?
But then I realized that what I have to share is too important.
This weekend we're celebrating "Independence Day" here in the United States.
Naturally, we're thinking about the founding of our country, and where this country is headed.
We know the political, social, and religious upheaval taking place in nations around the world, not just the U.S.
And it seems to me that now (more than ever) we need clear direction about God's Righteous Judgment.
Because I keep hearing people saying God is going to judge America.
As if God isn't going to judge all nations.
As if everything is lost and there's nothing to do now but wait for judgment to fall.
Again,
I believe it is a lack of wisdom, and a lack of understanding, as a
result of not knowing what judgment truly is, how it works, a why it
occurs.
People are more interested in their Doomsday prophecies coming to pass than they are standing the gap to avert judgment.
Well, these things are on my heart (have been for a long time).
So now is a good time to explore these issues together and be better prepared for whatever happens.
It doesn't take a brilliant prophet to prophesy doom, gloom and destruction.
The U.S. is a convenient target for prophetic opportunists trying to get publicity for their "words."
But
it takes spiritual maturity to rightly divide the Word and use
discernment to understand the purpose for God's judgment, and how that
judgment might be delayed, lessened, or avoided altogether.
This applies to ALL NATIONS, not just the U.S.!
So wherever you are in the world, you live in a nation, and that nation falls under the judgment of God to some degree.
What should you expect?
What should you be doing?

Gereja merupakan organisme yang hidup dan bukan sekedar organisasi buatan tangan manusia. Gereja harus di mulai di rumah tangga kita masing-masing dan bukan sekedar aktivitas religius belaka namun bagian kehidupan sehari-hari. Gereja harus jadi terang dan garam di luar dinding gedung gereja. Sebab gereja adalah kita

How leaders learn
How leaders learn
June 27, 2016
Our conviction is that people in general, and leaders in particular, learn best in community. A year ago, we began experimenting with Leader Teams which were small, safe communities of people who are leading small groups (house churches, etc.). These Teams have been very effective at providing both support and equipping for leaders (and they are multiplying in number - we now have 12 Teams).
Here's what we have learned about Leader Teams...

Here's what we have learned about Leader Teams...
- They are places where everyone is both a teacher and a learner. They talk about practice not just theory. We call this a "community of practice".
- They are places where people can come and be authentic and transparent. They can talk about the real issues they face as leaders.
- They are places where we have fun and enjoy each other.

Yes, Jesus loves me (and sometimes it hurts)
Hey Dave and church,
Last week was a real battle (bad weather, car problems, etc.).
Something (someone?) was dead-set against me delivering that teaching.
But I did it anyway - and the payoff was worth it!
We learned how love and judgment work together.
For example, Jesus said, "Those whom I love, I rebuke and chasten." Ouch!
Not a popular verse with the touchy-feely, "love-is-all-you-need" Christians.
Jesus loves you - and He speaks the Truth in love, seeing you as you are (warts and all) while calling you to move towards what you are CAPABLE of being in Him.
THAT is true love!
THAT is righteous judgment!
This mindset that never speaks up, never speaks out, never speaks against, but always accepts and tolerates without judgment?
THAT is false love, hypocrisy, and foolishness.
So I'm trying to equip YOU to go against the world, go against the church, and go against the crowd so you can go with God, not with man.
Part 3 of this teaching is happening this week!

SIMPLE CHURCH NETWORK
SIMPLE CHURCH NETWORK
Saat ini Tuhan tengah membangkitkan umat Tuhan dari beragam profesi dengan
sebuah kesadaran dan kerinduan untuk menggenapi amanat agung Tuhan dalam
memuridkan dan memperluas kerajaan Tuhan di luar tembok tradisi dan denominasi
yang kaku. Larry Krieder dan Floyd McClung menyatakan dalam buku Starting A
House Church,” Bila kita hendak menjangkau 3 Miliar orang di muka bumi, yang
kebanyakan tinggal di pedesaan tertinggal dan daerah perkotaan yang padat maka
tidak memungkinkan kita menggunakan cara program terpadu dan model rohaniwan
profesional ala gereja Barat.” Tuhan membangkitkan baik kalangan yang dikenal
sebagai rohaniwan maupun awam untuk berjalan bersama memuridkan bangsa-bangsa
dan memperluas kerajaan Tuhan tanpa memandang organisasi ataupun profesi tetapi mau kembali bersama berfungsi sebagai
tubuh Kristus.
Institusi gereja telah berkarya menjangkau jiwa-jiwa selama ini namun masih
ada banyak jiwa yang belum terjangkau. Simple Church Network hadir untuk
mengisi kekosongan dan menjangkau jiwa-jiwa yang selama ini belum terjangkau. Bila
orang sulit “di bawa ke gereja” maka kami membawa “gereja ke rumah atau
komunitas” mereka. Kami percaya bahwa setiap keluarga layak mendengar berita
Injil dan melihat teladan umat Tuhan secara lebih nyata di tengah masyarakat.
Kami mempersiapkan semua anak Tuhan menjadi murid Kristus yang siap dan kuat
dalam segala situasi, tetap mampu bertumbuh dalam suasana “damai” maupun saat
terjadi aniaya. Memiliki fleksibilitas untuk beribadah dalam berbagai kondisi
maupun tempat. Penanaman gereja yang kami kerjakan adalah dengan menggunakan
pola gereja dalam Perjanjian Baru dimana kita bisa berkumpul bersama di rumah,
di taman, di bukit, di gedung ibadah atau berbagai tempat lainnya untuk
beribadah…. Baik dalam kelompok besar, kelompok kecil (12-15 orang) atau
kelompok mikro (2-3 orang saja).
Simple Church Network merupakan kumpulan para murid Tuhan dan praktisi
penanam gereja yang mengikuti model gereja mula-mula. Beberapa kerinduan kami:
·
Kerinduan
kami adalah melihat semua keluarga
anak Tuhan memulai pemuridan di rumahnya, menghasilkan murid-murid baru
di rumah membawa dampak dalam komunitasnya, kotanya, bangsanya dan
bangsa-bangsa lain.
·
Kerinduan
kami adalah untuk bekerjasama
dengan setiap anak Tuhan, komunitas atau jejaring simple church atau gereja
rumah lainnya dan institusi gereja yang sudah ada untuk dapat menjangkau suku terabaikan dan komunitas
subkultur di perkotaan maupun pelayanan untuk memberkati kota melalui kegiatan
sosial maupun hal lainnya yang diwahyukan Tuhan.
·
Kerinduan
kami adalah menjadi katalisator
dalam pergerakan pemuridan dan mempersiapkan setiap anak Tuhan untuk terlibat
aktif menjadi saksi dan penanam gereja di lingkungannya (sekolah, kampus,
kantor, pabrik, dll) sesuai Kisah Para Rasul 1:8.
·
Kerinduan
kami adalah berjejaring dengan
setiap anak Tuhan, gereja rumah maupun institusi gereja yang memiliki visi
untuk menjangkau suku terabaikan dan komunitas subkultur perkotaan, kepedulian
terhadap saudara atau gereja teraniaya, pelayanan bagi kaum papah, seperti para
janda, anak yatim piatu, gelandangan dan pengungsi, pelayanan kemasyarakatan
seperti pro life, ODA/HIV Aids, penanganan bencana alam, dll.
·
Kerinduan
kami adalah memperlengkapi jejaring
gereja rumah maupun institusi gereja kecil untuk dapat mencapai visi dan misi
mereka. Kami bersedia membantu untuk memberikan pelatihan-pelatihan praktis
(tujuan pelatihan agar setiap peserta menjadi pelaku dan bukan hanya pendengar),
mengadakan proyek pelayanan kemanusiaan, mengutus tim kecil (short terms
mission team) dan menjadi rekan dalam perjalanan pelayanan anda tanpa memandang
organisasi maupun institusi sebab kita telah dipersatukan oleh Kristus sebagai
tubuhNya. Kami sangat menghargai perbedaan dan keunikan setiap individu dan
panggilan pelayanan masing-masing.
Harapan kami dapat bekerja bersama tubuh Kristus untuk membawa berita Injil
ini sampai ke ujung bumi . Sebagaimana tertulis dalam Injil Matius 24:14, Dan
Injil Kerajaan ini akan diberitakan di seluruh dunia menjadi kesaksian bagi
semua bangsa, sesudah itu barulah tiba kesudahannya.”
Ladang sudah menguning tetapi pekerja sangat sedikit (Matius 9:37-38). Saya
berdoa agar saat ini lebih banyak jiwa dapat melihat tuaian yang sudah
menguning itu….. jiwa-jiwa yang membutuhkan kasih Tuhan…memerlukan belaskasihan
Tuhan…..NAMUN…….belum ada yang pergi. Doa saya agar umat Tuhan itu
dibangkitkan…disadarkan…. Keluar dari balik tembok gereja dan tidak hanya
sekedar menjadi orang Kristen penghangat bangku gedung ibadah gereja….. Saya
tidak menjanjikan bahwa perjalanan ini akan mudah…… perjalanannya akan sangat
berat…. TAPI jangan khawatir sebab Tuhan akan menyertai kita sampai kesudahan
zaman bila kita taat melakukan Amanat Agung (Matius 28:18-20, Markus 16:15-18,
Kisah Para Rasul 1:8). Adakah yang mau diutus?
Lalu aku mendengar suara Tuhan berkata:”Siapakah yang akan Kuutus, dan
siapakah yang mau pergi untuk Aku?” Maka sahutku: “Ini aku, utuslah aku.”
(Yesaya 6:8)
Start with simple
Simple works.
There is no merit in making something more complicated than it has to be.
And the first goal of a Christ-centered faith is the acknowledgement of a supremely simple truth:
Jesus is Enough.
Here's my reasoning for keeping it just that simple:

Thanks for Downloading My Ebook!
Thank you for downloading our new free ebook:
Starting Organic Churchesby Milt Rodriguez
I
hope that it has helped you to get started in some way with an organic
expression of the church in your area. We have a few more new
opportunities to help you get started that I wanted to let you know
about.
A New Blog
I have just setup a new blog specifically for folks (like you!) that are desiring to begin organic groups. You can located this blog here:
http://www.startingorganicchurches.org
I have also written the first post for the blog here:
http://www.startingorganicchurches.org/1
Please feel free to comment on the post as well as leave a review on the book in the form of a comment on the Reviews page. I am hoping that this blog will serve the purpose of a forum type environment where folks can ask questions and comment on the materials presented to help one another.
A Monthly Web Conference
I'm also toying with the idea of presenting a monthly (or quarterly) conference online where I will share some of my experiences in starting organic churches and also share things I have learned to help all of you out there that are just beginning this journey. Of course, it would be free and we would use one of the webinar services available such as StartMeeting or FreeConferenceCall.
Would any of you be interested in that if I end up doing it? If so, please reply to this email and just send me a quick note telling me so.
More Extensive and Personal Help
If you read the ebook: Starting Organic Churches then you know that at the end of the book I make a very Special Offer. This offer is basically my personal help and advice in starting your group.
We have had many people respond to that offer and are currently helping quite a few around the country and even some in other countries as well. However, there are still many of you who never responded back to me about this offer. Of course, this could be for many different reasons. But I just wanted to encourage you again to consider responding to me at this time for some help. Obviously, my time is limited, but I really want to help as much as possible.
So please contact me before my time is completely filled up!
Book Recommendation
There is a book that I have written that will greatly help you to have an understanding (and hopefully a revelation!) of God's eternal purpose in the Church. It's called The Community Life of God and you can read more about it and order it online here:
The Community Life of God
Well, I think that's about it for now. Please let us know if there is any way that we can help you to start your group or help an existing group.
your brother in our gloriously full Christ,

John Fenn, Misdirection
Hi all,
In
the top drawer next to our stove are 40 large spoons, ladles, knives
and other assorted things one might need when preparing food and cooking
on the stove. (Yes, I counted them) At least 30 of those in my opinion
are clutter, as Barb and I generally use just our favorite 'go to'
utensils on a day to day basis.
One
day I was trying in vain to find my favorite slotted spoon as I was
cooking spaghetti sauce or something, but it was hidden deep among the
40, and I couldn't find it anywhere. So I grabbed handfuls of spoons and
knives and such and laid them on the counter and sifted through them
like I was a giant gray headed squirrel looking for the perfect acorn,
but not finding it, leaving about 20 items still in the drawer.
Just
then Barb walked past, and seeing the mess I was making scattering
utensils across her formerly uncluttered counter top, stopped and asked
what in the world I was doing with that tone of voice that was both
amused and slightly annoyed.
When
I told her I was looking for my favorite plastic tipped slotted spoon,
she looked down into the open drawer, reached in and pulled out my spoon
from among the 20 and plopped it down on the counter loudly, shaking
her head and muttering something about 'men' to herself as she walked
away. Sheepishly I uttered a 'Thanks honey' and wondered how in the
world I couldn't see it sitting there in plain sight.
What I've been talking about
The
last 6 weeks I've talked about Christians who are emotionally
unhealthy, about abusers and the abused, and many readers have noticed
they are related topics. Today I want to share a common thread, and that
is in both cases their unhealthiness causes them to focus on things
that take them away from the Prime Directive from the Lord, which
is: Daily becoming more like Him.
Anything
and anyone that takes us away from growth as a person in Him, is a
distraction and often a plan of the enemy to make us look at the 39
things in the drawer of life to the point we can't see the all-important
40th thing, which is what we really need: Christ.
When
a person is emotionally unhealthy or an abuser all they see is the
object of their pain, the source of what they believe is their problem.
They can't emotionally 'step back' from the issue to see the larger
picture. That singular focus causes them to lay aside growth in Christ
in order to address their crisis, or whatever is the object of their
attention and affection. That could include an off balance teaching, or
focus on a legitimate Bible teaching just taken to such an extreme they
ignore balance, or a person who has made them angry. Either way, they
stray off the path of balance and wholeness in order to devote
themselves to a single point.
Is your focus in life leading you deeper into maturity in Him, or away from maturity in Him?
"Giving
all diligence add to your faith moral excellence, and to that add
knowledge, and to that self-control, and to that consistency, and to
that godly character, and to that brotherly love, and to that
unconditional love." II Peter 1:1-10
"Walk
in the Spirit/spirit and you won't walk in the flesh, the fruit of the
Spirit/spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness,
goodness, faithfulness, meekness, and self control." Galatians 5:22-23
"If
I speak with tongues of men and of angels yet don't have love, I'm like
a brass bell or cymbal. If I prophesy, and understand all mysteries and
all knowledge, and have all faith so that I could even remove
mountains, yet don't have love, I am nothing."
(Many
distractions and off balance teachings and 'moves of God' come under
the heading of mysteries and knowledge - are those interests leading you
deeper into the love of God and love for the people in your life, or
does your focus cause division and alienation?)
"Even
if I give all I have to the poor and even if I am martyred by being
burned to death, yet don't have love, it profits me nothing. Love
suffers long and is kind. Love doesn't envy, doesn't exalt itself,
doesn't get puffed up in pride. Love doesn't behave incorrectly, nor
does it seek to push itself above others. Love isn't easily provoked,
nor does it think evil of others. It doesn't rejoice in sin, but
rejoices in the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes
all things, endures all things. Love never fails..." I Corinthians
13:1-8
Here is how to stay free of offense
When
you have deep in your heart the Prime Directive of growing in Christ,
you understand anything that comes your way is first to be treated as an
opportunity to walk in greater Christ-like character.
As
a result, you won't be offended by someone who believes differently
than you because you will take what they believe under advisement to the
King, realizing what they believe they believe unto the Lord, and
you stay emotionally separated from what they believe even if you think
it is a goofy as can be. You are looking for how what they believe and
your interactions with them cause you to grow deeper in Christ and cause
you to exercise Christ-like character and growth.
You
won't be offended because someone chooses to worship on a different day
than you, or is mid-trib when you are pre-trib, or think tongues and
miracles faded with the first century of the faith. You won't be
inclined to enter into the aforementioned 'word battles' because you are
exercising Christ's patience and knowing that what they believe they do
unto the Lord - He accepts them in spite of themselves, so you do as
well. You don't make their issues your issues. All you are looking for
is the grace of God in them, looking for what He has done in their life,
and how you can grow in Christ in your interactions with them.
Righteousness comes through faith in Christ, but is unproven,
as I've said many times. Anyone can say they are born again. Anyone can
say they love God but He remains unseen at that point. God in His
wisdom has caused righteousness in Christ to be proven and matured
within the framework of relationships, and that is how He is seen and
how a person is proven to know God.
That
means things like adding moral excellence, knowledge, consistency and
patience, love and joy, patience and meekness, self control and long
suffering, seen in scripture are all written with the understanding
these things grow in us through the ups and downs of relationships.
That's how we know Christ is in us, and in our spouse, our friend, our
sibling, our neighbor - because they are endeavoring to live out their
righteousness within the framework of healthy relationships.
That means God intends marriage to make us holy
God
intends our relationships with our neighbors to make us holy. God
intends our relationships with our families to make us holy. Every
relationship is intended by the Father to help us (and them if they are
willing) grow in Christ, maturing as people each day.
Your
spouse isn't in your life just to complete you, be your soul mate, or
to make you laugh. While elements of those things and more may be part
of the mix, the primary purpose for a married couple is their
differences will lend themselves to growth in Christ, both individually
and as a couple, thus becoming one.
Your
boss isn't there to make you angry or frustrated, but that Christ may
work within that relationship to mature you. Your neighbor's barking dog
isn't there to irritate you, but to afford you an opportunity to grow
in Christ and do good to your neighbor, proving you know Christ by
letting His love be manifest towards them.
That
which causes us to retreat into ourselves, that causes us to retreat
from walking in closeness with our spouse, friends, and neighbors, is a
distraction and in direct conflict with the purpose Jesus put us on this
earth. Righteousness is proven within the framework of relationships.
What
we really need is hiding in plain site among the 40 things in life we
are juggling, we just have to stop paying attention to the 39 to see the
40th, which is Christ. As Paul said in his closing words to the
Galatians: "Neither Jew nor Gentile means anything, but the power of the
new birth. And peace is on all who live by this principle.." Stay
focused on Him and ask, "How do you want me to grow in this?"
A 'random thought' next week, until then, blessings,

New CD/MP3 Series
This
series goes into details of Paul's instructions to Timothy concerning
Christians who Paul calls 'emotionally sick' or 'mentally ill', and how
he should handle such people. Paul tells of Christians who reject
healthy spiritual teaching in favor of arguments over words and word
meanings and off-balance teaching, who focus so much on 1 topic or 1
issue within them that logic, friends, teaching, and encouragement to
return to balance elude them. Paul outlines many characteristics of the
emotionally ill believer, describing them as having a morbid fascination
with something that becomes a mental disease to them - and outlines how
to help them and how to pray for them. For anyone who knows that
certain person in their life who is emotionally and spiritually
unhealthy, the listener will gain understanding and insight with a view
towards restoration for that person.
In David
the King we look at the Psalms he wrote after King Saul died, but
before David's son Absalom rebelled against him and sent him into exile.
The Psalms take on a different tone than in part 1 of the series, and
include prophecy about Jesus, because during this peaceful time in his
life he is able to focus on worship and the goodness of the Lord. We
look at his Psalm that was shouted at Jesus on Palm Sunday, and the
Hallel, which Jesus and the disciples sung on the night He was betrayed,
and its prophecy. The series also looks at the Psalm David wrote when
he was confronted about his affair with Bathsheba. David the King gives
wonderful insight into the tenderness of the heart of David, his heart
for his son, Solomon, and so much more!
