Ministry Needs Leaders

Ministry is a translation of the New Testament Greek word diakonia, which means "service." Ministry is service. And ministry as "service" needs leaders--leaders who serve, not leaders who just develop programs, or teach, or organize committee groups. Ministry needs leaders who serve others for the purpose of growing and taking steps toward Christlikeness so that they can become leaders in service who serve the world as the body of Christ "who came not to be served but to serve."

Not Everyone is the Same Kind of Christian

This is the third post in a series that attempts to think through some matters related to the church today, based on a series of posts by Ed Stetzer at Christianity Today. Click to go to part 1 or part 2.

Not everyone is the same kind of Christian.

We all get this. There are Lutherans, Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Reformed, E-Free, Mennonites, Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and so on. Even within these denominations there is much variety. Some might say division.

But, I'm not talking about these groups.
