A New Reformation?

I am excited that that we are seeing the signs and experiencing it too of a New Modern Day Reformation in the world. It happened before when it was needed through Martin Luther as many others who began to see the need for re-direction (transformation) in the Church. The best part of all is that I get to be a part of that move of God that is taking place.

When I resigned my very traditional church that was very traditional while moving ahead with contemporary elements and styles, I felt in my heart that God wanted more out of my life. I had opportunities to serve in other church ministries but God kept leading in another direction. For me, as a "turn around pastor" it became second nature. I had it down pretty well while asking God for help along the way. But instinctively it became easy ( I could almost do it without God -sad to say) to take a church from one level and lead her through the necessary changes to see pretty good growth and I got better at it, as I went from place to place. I came to a place where I needed to become involved in something that I knew I "couldn't do" at all without God. Who me, do what? I can't do it - God can!

So here I am! I can't do anything without God. A "disciples making disciple" movement will never happen WITHOUT GOD DOING IT TOTALLY THROUGH US. A "disciples-making disciples" from those already in the church will never happen WITHOUT GOD DOING IT.

I care deeply about one MAIN THING and it will be my only message until I die. "Make disciples" who themselves "make disciples" who become the church the "goes" as the main thing. If I could put seat ejections in every church pew and seat on Sunday - So each one can move from "soaking up sponges" to "wringing out sponges" in the world. The sponge is full now we need every believer to become an incarnational Christ- followers in the world.

Those who experience the Reformation and those who do not - will reap differing experiences and results. The Reformation (beginning) in America (and is sweaping over seas) is shaking the Christendom-mode church. This movement "REFORMATION of TRANSFORMATION" is not just another phase or style or ? This REFORMATION will cause the greatest harvest the world has ever seen, much like the early church harvest we have only dreamed about. It's shift will be from methods and models and styles and man developed programs to the Holy Spirt leading everything and I mean everything. (More on that later).
