Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Business success depends on effective strategic planning and execution. The practice of planning strategy, however, did not originate here on earth with man. "God's Strategic Plan" sets out to establish that the Bible is not a random collection of ancient stories, but is in fact a strategic planning document, which surpasses anything that the corporate world has ever seen. Imbedded in the pages of Scripture is a well thought out, brilliant strategy which not only reveals God's ultimate intent in creating man, but describes the intricate measures He took to establish us as the dominant species on earth. Robert V. Fullerton, an experienced business professional, takes us behind the scenes to examine the objectives, options and tactics of two opposing supernatural beings, God and Satan, as they contend for lives of men and women since the beginning of man's existence. This book provides new insight into the strategies adopted by each side in this unseen battle raging in our midst, and drills down to examine the effect that God's Strategic Plan has on our individual lives and destinies.

Download or read book God s Strategy in Human History written by Paul Marston and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2001-07-01 with total page 401 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Forster and Marston have delivered a stellar book that attempts to present an exegetical and Scriptural framework for the content presented in the book. Instead of beginning from a set of deductive theological assumptions and then attempting to support that system from Scripture, Forster and Marston examine Scripture and attempt to build their case directly from the text. The authors unabashedly admit that their views are very similar to those of Arminian and Weslyan traditions, but they state in the beginning of the book that they do not want to be labeled with these names, but want to construct a theology that is in line with the teachings of the first 300 years of Christianity. Anyone who reads their appendix will come to understand that the teachings presented in this book were the orthodox consensus of the early Church for the first 300 years, and that it was Augustine who introduced serious deviations into the mainstream orthodox Christianity of his time. Forster and Marston begin by describing the battle that is being waged between God and the spiritual forces that oppose Him. They examine the book of Job and see how this relates to the overall struggle. Then the authors examine the 9th chapter of Romans to see if this book is dealing with election and individual destinies, or God's actions within human history. The authors do an excellent job of arguing for their opinion that this chapter is speaking about God's involvement in human history and it deals with God's choosing of one nation or individual over another nation or individual to accomplish His purpose. Other sections of interest in this book are the sections on foreknowledge and predestination and the chapters on faith and works. The section on faith and works was particularly interesting because it relies on much of the teaching of the new perspective which has shed much light on how a 1st century Palestinian Jew would have approached Scriptural issues. The research, argumenation, and exegesis in this book are solid so every chapter is excellent, but the ones mentioned above were two of my favorites."--Amazon.com.

Download or read book Strategic Planning for Christian Organizations written by Guy Saffold and published by . This book was released on 2020-07 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leaders know they should plan for the future but are often uncertain of how to do it. Strategic planning can seem too "corporate." Is it right to use a technique from the business world in ministry?God is a master planner whose plans extend from one end of time to the other. We are created in his image to be like him including in our capacity to discern his will and to formulate plans to follow him. Dr. Saffold draws on the Bible to show that planning strategically is a thoroughly biblical discipline that when rooted in faith, prayer and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit can help a ministry realize God's direction and future.By reading this book you will learn how to:*Orient your planning team to think about the future from God's perspective and to work through the process from a perspective of faith and prayer.*Think flexibly and strategically about leadership with a clear plan for the future but also sensitivity to the Spirit's leading at every step. Clarify an inspiring mission for your organization and use it to shape every aspect of your organization. *Discern a compelling vision for the future that can motivate action for progress toward the goal. *Assess your organization's current internal and external environment as the basis for determining next steps. *Develop high level initiatives and strategies to focus your efforts and resources on what really matters. *Manage results, evaluating progress against goals and adjusting plans and strategies as the future unfolds.The book is filled with examples of how planning can be done. Exercises and forms are included that will help you move from a desire to plan to effective leadership of your planning team.Ultimately, strategic planning is about putting into effective practice a biblical philosophy of leadership and action, the true end goal of this book.The book includes a complete sample strategic plan that illustrates how the process fits together."To read Guy Saffold's book is to read his mind. Strategic thinking is his trademark: strategic planning a natural outcome. Born out of the dynamics that shaped Trinity Western University, Strategic Planning for Christian Organizations illustrates clearly how the power of vision can be turned into effective ministry. The illustrations are factually accurate; the conclusions convincing. But basic to the whole thesis is the underlying assumption that intervention by a sovereign God provides both the anticipation and sense of reward for planners dependent on him and sensitive to his leading." -- R. Neil Snider, President, Trinity Western University

Download or read book Church and Ministry Strategic Planning written by William Winston and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-10-12 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spiritual management is required for spiritual organization, and yet a ministry’s master plan should be the Master’s plan for that ministry. Church and Ministry Strategic Planning assists readers in developing a Biblically based blueprint for carrying out the many activities in which the church or ministry is involved. The authors show clearly how careful planning is inspired by the Scriptures (“Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?”--Luke 14:28) and how it improves making decisions today which ultimately affect the ministry’s effectiveness tomorrow. Church and Ministry Strategic Planning covers all areas of this type of planning and can be read and reviewed quickly. Through the use of a model of the strategic planning process, the authors show how to develop mission statements, define strategic objectives, develop strategy options and operating strategies, appraise performance, and monitor strategic planning. Readers are led step-by-step through these key areas of creating a strategic plan. Examples and worksheets at the end of each chapter enable pastors, administrators, and lay leaders to develop a strategic plan fitting to their specific ministry or church. The appendixes provide tools used in planning as well as a complete sample strategic plan for a large church. Put these concepts to immediate use in decisionmaking and pursue God’s purpose and vision for the church or ministry. If readers take the time and effort to study this book, apply its format, and prayerfully keep God in every step of the plan, here is what the authors believe plan administrators can expect: 1. A sense of enthusiasm in the church or ministry 2. A 5-year plan in writing to which everyone is committed 3. A sense of commitment by the entire church to its overall direction 4. Time for the leaders to do what they have been called to do 5. Clear job duties and responsibilities 6. Clear and evident improvement in the health and vitality of every member of the church staff 7. Measurable improvement in the personal lives of all those in responsible positions with time for vacations, family, and personal pursuits 8.The ability to measure very specifically, the growth and contribution made by senior pastors or evangelists at the close of their careers 9. Guaranteed leadership of the church or ministry because a plan is in place--in writing--and is understood. Even more importantly, a management team and philosophy will be in place to guide the church or ministry into its next era of growth Explore this Biblical perspective on planning and develop a strategic plan that is systematic and continuous and allows the church or ministry to assess its market position, establish goals, objectives, priorities, and strategies to be completed within specified time periods, achieve greater staff and member commitment and teamwork aimed at meeting challenges and solving problems, and muster its resources to meet these changes through anticipation.

Download or read book The Gospel Commission written by Michael Horton and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many churches in America today want to be powerful, relevant, and influential in personal and social transformation. But whose kingdom are we building? God's? Or our own? A plethora of programs for outreach, discipleship, and spiritual disciplines are available at any bookstore and on countless websites. Yet what we need most is a renewed understanding of and commitment to the Great Commission. We assume that we already know the nature of this commission and the appropriate methods of carrying it out. But Michael Horton contends that it too often becomes our mission instead of God's. At a time when churches are zealously engaged in writing up mission statements and strategic plans, he argues that we must ask ourselves anew whether we are ambassadors, following the script we've been given, or building our own kingdoms with our own blueprint. Pastors, church leaders, and readers of Horton's Christless Christianity and The Gospel-Driven Life will value this frank and hopeful exploration of the Great Commission as a call to understanding and good practice.

This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Creator's Three Dimensional Strategic Plan And Purpose For Humanity. The author of this book is very excited to share his joy of a life-changing discovery he made with everyone who will pick up this book. He is glad to tell everyone that the seal has been broken off from what Jesus said in Luke 13: 32. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do cures to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. This is the conclusion of the matter: There is a first day Church that enjoys the Lord's presence and a second day Church that knows His burden removing yoke destroying power that does great exploits in this world. However, there is a 3RD DAY CHURCH that walks in the weight of His glory and splendour that is well able to bring order and decency, peace and joy in the Holy Ghost in a crazy world. This is the Church that walks in His perfect will, whose desire has become His desire; therefore, the whole universe is cooperating with this dynamic church. This is the Church that will bring about a sudden shift in the affairs of humanity. This is that GIANT that everyone was talking about She is the glorious Church that has been made ready to do kingdom business and to occupy all influential places in this world until He comes back again. It is not a Church that is passively waiting for His coming! And He (Jesus) called His ten servants (3rd Day Church well equipped Servants), and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy (make business) until I come (Luke 19:13). We have received a Kingdom that cannot be shaken by anything bad that is happening in this world. This Kingdom is eagerly waiting for the saints to possess it. It is an unseen reality, just like Goshen has been to Israelites, which was and is a place where there is nothing missing and nothing broken. It is the will of God that we should all enjoy a Kingdom of God reality on earth in the here and now! His abundant life is for the NOW and the life to come.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: JOHN 10:10 "I HAVE COME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MAY HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY." In many ways, life is like a football game. In times of abundant living, when everything is going your way, you gain a few yards and make a touchdown. But equally as certain there are times when you lose a few yards or you are tackled on the way to your goal. So how do you prepare yourself for life's ups and downs? You get out God's Playbook and see what His game plan is for you. Aubrey Johnson points out that a coach, including our heavenly Coach, "can draw up perfect plays, put them in a book for you, and remind you to do your homework, but he cannot study and practice for you." That's where strategy comes in. Using a football field analogy, Johnson identifies 10 strategies for Christian growth - things such as commitment, discipline and perseverance - to help you gain yardage on reaching your goal. Once you've figured out your strengths and weaknesses as a player on God's team, you begin the task of following the strategies presented in your playbook for living the abundant life.
