Our Point of Departure by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman May 26, 2022

Scripture focus: It wasn’t so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn’t know the first thing about living, tell you how to live. You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief, and then exhaled disobedience. We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when

Giving Preference by Paulo Lopes

Paulo Lopes May 11, 2022

Romans 12:10 Words are a funny thing. Not just words on their own, but the ways we choose to use words and give meaning to them. For instance: a young lady meets a young man and they begin going out on dates. Then they become “exclusive.” Pretty soon the pressure begins to build as the young lady and the young

Absolute Truth by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman April 25, 2022

Scripture Focus: For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me. (Matthew 25:35-36, NLT) This month

Fight, Flight, Freeze: Holy Week Unraveled by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner April 14, 2022

We work so hard to keep Holy Week well-orchestrated: bulletins pristine, lilies in place, songs rehearsed. It’s an important celebration in the life of a church – in the life of The Church; a highlight of the liturgical calendar. We should have our vestments ready, Easter baskets ready, shoes by the door, hearts rightly adorned and aligned. Ham or lamb

Recalculating by Rob Haynes

Rob Haynes April 6, 2022

I don’t always have the best sense of direction. That is one reason why I was particularly thankful when GPS systems became available for your car. I no longer had to pull over to look at a map, rather I could just obediently listen to the voice traveling with me, telling me where to turn. When I strayed from the

Snapshot: Witness in Kenyan Methodism by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman June 22, 2016

The Methodist Wesleyan family is alive and well in East Africa! God is calling young women and men to minister through word, deed and sign – evangelists, church planters, teachers, pastors, doctors, lawyers, government officials – all Holy Spirit-inspired and ready to go where God leads them.

Lay People with A Vision by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman June 20, 2016

How many lay people do you know who exhibit vision for the inbreaking Kingdom of God?

Camp Meetings And Revivals In 21st Century North American Methodism by Elizabeth Glass Turner

elizabeth.turner June 20, 2016

A couple of generations ago in North America, camp meetings and revivals were not uncommon in many Wesleyan Methodist traditions, flourishing in part from their popularity in the 19th century across frontiers. Outdoor meetings or camp meetings or week-long revival series held in local churches perhaps helped to pave the way for Billy Graham’s famous evangelistic crusades that inhabited tents

Steer Toward the Pain by Jeff Rudy

Jeff Rudy June 18, 2016

Compassion, in the Jesus way, is active – it steers toward the pain, joins folks in the valley of the shadow of death and finds some way to point to the hope of the resurrection.

Servant Paul, Not Apostle Paul, in Philippians by Tom Fuerst

Tom Fuerst June 16, 2016

When you look closely at the first few verses of Philippians, something quite unique stands out fairly quickly:

Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,

To all the saints in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi, with the bishops and deacons.

You’ll notice that Paul does not refer to himself as an apostle.

Dealing with a Dead Situation by Kelcy Steele

Kelcy Steele June 15, 2016

We have a hungry prophet (Elijah) on assignment to stretch the faith of a widow woman on welfare and to add insult to injury she has just lost her son.

I stop by to tell somebody when you are dealing with a dead situation you have to expect the unexpected, process your pain, and trust the process.

Friendship Is A Choice (How The Church Teaches Me To Love) by Carolyn Moore

Carolyn Moore June 8, 2016

What would you give your life for? Your kids? Your spouse? Your family? Would you give your life for people you don’t know? People forced into prostitution in Bangalore, or unborn babies? Would you give your life for the Church? Paul tells us Jesus gave his life for just this thing. Jesus gave his life for the Church. More precisely, Jesus

Dismantling the Word “Evangelism” by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman June 8, 2016

Here’s a news flash – the word “evangelism” is emotionally, historically, and theologically charged.

When Cognitive Dissonance and Evangelism Collide by Kim Reisman

Kim Reisman June 6, 2016

Cognitive dissonance is especially challenging in evangelism. We’re tempted to find ways to reduce the divergences between the Gospel and our culture, to change our message so it’s more palatable to the society in which we live, to accommodate it to the “wisdom of the world.”

The 7 Works of Corporal Mercy (or How Jesus Evaluates the Ministry of His Church) by James Petticrew

James Petticrew June 6, 2016

The more I read those words and reflected on Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 25 the more it struck me that the Seven Works of Corporal Mercy are not an anachronistic relic of the Medieval church but constitute a very effective evaluation tool for the contemporary church.
