Ministry Plan

Jared Dees, creator of the popular website The Religion Teacher, shows how applying the steps of lectio divina to teaching can reorient religious education toward encountering the person of Christ rather than merely sharing information about him. In Christ in the Classroom, Catholic author and speaker Jared Dees applies the five steps of lectio divina - reading/learning, meditation, prayer, contemplation, and action - to the ministry of catechesis.

People are leaving or changing churches at a record pace, and we have to ask a very important question—when should we NOT leave a church? Certainly, there are reasons when it’s time to leave a church, and when done so in a healthy manner, it can be a glorious transition for all involved. There’s a celebration of the promotion that all in the church community can participate in. The process of leaving a church is equally as important as the reason for leaving.

In Green Like God, Jonathan Merritt gently and insightfully observes that the Creator has a lot to say about environmental problems like unclean water, mindless materialism, wastefulness, over consumption, and pollution. In fact, Jonathan writes that "in the book of Genesis, God went green and never looked back." Relying heavily on the Scriptures, Jonathan gives the case for green living, but not because it's trendy and hip.

Today's Christian family is under attack. It is experiencing an aggressive, culturally progressive bombardment unlike any other we have witnessed in our lifetime. A key focus of this secular barrage on the Christian home is the parent/child relationship.

God's Plan of Creation is written for all God's children who are not afraid to think. As a child, we have asked questions and only got those standard answers: It's not for man to know. Alternatively, God works in strange and mysterious ways. As a father, one would not want their children to grow up ignorant. Nor does God!

When the fires of life blaze through, leaving a path of destruction, do you look up and wonder, “Where are you, Lord?” We light a match with every decision we make, and when we strike without seeking God’s will, the flame may blaze in destruction. When destruction comes, the world burns around you, leaving you in a pile of ashes. At this point, only one question needs to be answered. Will your faith in God wither and die, or will it bloom from the ashes?

If you don’t know your purpose in life you will never fulfill the call God has for you. It often takes a person years or even a lifetime to realize their purpose, if they do at all. To live in the purpose God created you is the most satisfying and rewarding thing in life. Every part of your life, your influence, your planning, and your pursuit is affected by your purpose.

When I first got saved I used to think, "If God had planned everything why should I bother to plan? If everything that happens is according to God’s will and purposes why should I bother to even think of planning?" That kind of thinking has many problems. Number one: Whilst God is sovereign not everything that happens on Earth is according to his will. That is one of the reasons we pray saying "let your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven." If God's will is always done on Earth we don't need to pray that prayer. Do we?

I think you're all aware that this is the most dramatic week in Christendom and yet I dare say that not an nth part of one percent of those who call themselves Christians really understand what it is all about. It's the story of the fulfillment of God's purpose. That's the week, the triumphant march into Jerusalem, the crucifixion and then the resurrection. And it's told as though it took place on earth. That's how the story is told. Man cannot think abstractly, so it's told in the form of a story. And man has mistaken the story for the reality.

The God Plan is the mission your creator intends for you to complete between your first and last breaths.

These abilities are in essence and truth your superhuman powers!
