A humorous sketch on the theme of Pentecost download here  

  THE JOURNEY by James Burn is an e-book of 6 lessons based on the journey made by Moses and the Israelites through the desert. It is a useful book for study, having a number of questions for consideration after each chapter.

"The Exodus...the epic, 40 year journey that took the Hebrews from being slaves in Egypt to entry into their own land as free people with a glorious future awaiting them. The Exodus...more than just a journey, this was a transformational experience that would forever define the identity of that nation. Why did it take them 40 years, and what were the lessons they learned along the way? This was the journey that not only took the people out of slavery, but, more importantly, took slavery out of the people. What were the lessons they learned along the way and how does God take us on a similar journey today, as he transforms us from being slaves to sin, to being ready to enter the ‘promised land’ of heaven?"

The book can be downloaded from Kingfisher Resources UK in 3 formats, or alternatively as a Kindle e-book from Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.com

5 ATTRIBUTES OF A CHURCH IN DECLINE

A MODERN PARABLE FOR THE CHURCH  

There was an ambitious businessman in a certain city who had built a huge grease factory. People from all over the world came to view this factory once it was completed and in full production and the ambitious businessman was only too pleased to show the visitors the entire process, from the point where coal was offloaded from ships to the point where the grease was eventually pumped into huge tanks. One day a visitor arrived and asked whether he could be taken on a guided tour through the factory. The owner of the factory escorted the visitor to the outside of the factory where coal from a ship was being offloaded, making use of enormous machines. The coal was then placed onto conveyor belts running on thousands of rollers. From there the coal was dropped into a mill where the large pieces of coal was broken up into smaller pieces. From there the coal ran on lengthy conveyor belts, once again supported by thousands of rollers to the next process and from there to the next and then to the next. The visitor marveled at the conveyor belts crisscrossing throughout the factory with millions of rollers on which these long belts ran. He also marveled at the huge machines used to break the coal into increasingly smaller particles and the other chemical processes used to eventually convert the coal into usable grease and he marveled at the size of the tanks used to store the grease. He had never seen anything like that in his life. It was mind-boggling.

Afterwards, having a cup of coffee with the owner, the visitor was however puzzled by something. “I’ve seen how the coal is offloaded. I’ve seen the processes through which the coal had to go until it finally became grease. I’ve seen the tanks into which the grease is pumped. The only thing I haven’t seen is your facility from where the grease is dispatched to the consumers.” “You clearly don’t understand,” the ambitious businessman answered him. “Didn’t you see those huge machines and the millions of rollers on which the conveyor belts run? They need to be greased often to keep them running efficiently. We don’t have any grease left to dispatch!”

DISCIPLESHIP IS EVANGELISTIC BEFORE IT IS FORMATIVE  

In the typical church, mention the word discipleship and the first thought generated will be along the line of deepening people into greater maturity in Christ. But Jesus starts the process with one of the most clear and simple verses in all of Scripture.

“Follow me and I will make you to be fishers of men.” (Mark 1:17; cf Matt. 4:19)

Straight forward and simple. We follow him. He makes us fishers of men. Condition and promise or, if you prefer, action and promise.

Here’s the stunningly simple question: Does Jesus keep his promises? Obvious response: Absolutely.

So if I follow Jesus he will make me a fisher of men. But the verse indicts me as a non-follower of Christ if I am not fishing for men.

Therein lies a major problem in our approach to discipleship. We bypass the fishing and move right to the kitchen with fish that others have caught and delivered for processing.

It’s artificial. It is not the way of Jesus. And it doesn’t work.

Jesus didn’t say he would make us cooks. (Nothing against cooks!) He said he would make us fishers of men. To follow him means that we fish for men. A discipleship process that by-passes the start of the process misunderstands the whole process.

Our churches are filled with “fisherman” who never fish. They don’t understand the process. But it is worse than that. Our disobedience and failure to fish for men truncates our growth in Christ.

“What, you mean to tell me that if I am not fishing for men my walk with God will some how be warped?”

That’s what Jesus says.

“Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” ( John 14:21 ESV)

Jesus ties further disclosure of himself to obedience to his commands. If you want to grow in Christ, if you want to become a true disciple of Christ, start doing evangelism. And watch your understanding of the resurrected One grow according to his promise which he always keeps.
