Download or read book Confessions of a Reformission Rev written by Mark Driscoll and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2009-05-26 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the story of the birth and growth of Seattle’s innovative Mars Hill Church, one of America’s fastest growing churches located in one of America’s toughest mission fields. It’s also the story of the growth of a pastor, the mistakes he’s made along the way, and God’s grace and work in spite of those mistakes. Mark Driscoll’s emerging, missional church took a rocky road from its start in a hot, upstairs youth room with gold shag carpet to its current weekly attendance of thousands. With engaging humor, humility, and candor, Driscoll shares the failures, frustrations, and just plain messiness of trying to build a church that is faithful to the gospel of Christ in a highly post-Christian culture. In the telling, he’s not afraid to skewer some sacred cows of traditional, contemporary, and emerging churches. Each chapter discusses not only the hard lessons learned but also the principles and practices that worked and that can inform your church’s ministry, no matter its present size. The book includes discussion questions and appendix resources. “After reading a book like this, you can never go back to being an inwardly focused church without a mission. Even if you disagree with Mark about some of the things he says, you cannot help but be convicted to the inner core about what it means to have a heart for those who don’t know Jesus.”—Dan Kimball, author,The Emerging Church “... will make you laugh, cry, and get mad ... school you, shape you, and mold you into the right kind of priorities to lead the church in today’s messy world.”—Robert Webber, Northern Seminary

It is a story, and an era, that few in the English-speaking world know anything about.

With words that will ring true for every person who has devoted themselves to the Lord's work, this unique book serves to remind readers that though the sacrifices of serving God are great, the sweetness of living a faithful, obedient life is greater still.
Download or read book A Preacher s Confession written by Thomas Chesley and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-10-20 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When I gave my life to the Lord, I used to get angry with myself all the time and I felt hopeless. I kept falling into sin and making dumb decisions that kept me from being successful. How could I be so smart and still be so stupid that I can't beat this thing? Self-pity began to gain strength. I got depressed, at one point I was homeless, and I gave up on myself. I walked away from God many times. One day my mother prayed with me and gave me a Bible and told me to read Romans. I later became a Minister. I couldn't get it right because I couldn't get past my addiction and my own self-interests. How could this be? I am a Minister. Who does the man of God go to when he is failing? The answer is clearly God. I became convinced that my testimony may help some other Ministers who struggle with the same things I did. Like me, they may be waiting on God and hoping He hears them, too! One day I accepted that even Preachers can fail. I wasn't doing anything constructive with my life at that time. I decided to trust God. I didn't know if He would do it, but I prayed anyway. I soon believed that if I asked God for faith, and told people the truth, God was going to change me. Today, I am a Minister in good standing in a church in Orange County, CA and the CEO of a nonprofit called A Touch of Love Works. When you read A Preacher's Confession, you discover that in spite of everything that is wrong with me, there is a side of me that wants to make the world a better place and I will do my part. This is my story. To God be the glory.
Download or read book Confessions of a Pastor written by Narayan Nair and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each week, millions of people attend local churches to sing hymns and hear a message. They seek information about theology, church history, and Christian living. Others stay at home and seek this knowledge and experience from their televisions or computers. No doubt information about these things is important, but it is even more important to know the truth. Jesus is the Truth, and we can come to know Him with our minds, love Him with our hearts, serve Him with our might, and fear Him as our God. In "Confessions of a Pastor," the lyrics to Thomas Benson Pollock's hymn, "We Have Not Known Thee As We Ought," are the foundation upon which Narayan Nair builds his challenge to Christians to recommit their allegiance to the Lord Jesus Christ and allow Him to lead us into a more intimate and reverent relationship with our Savior.
