Every now and then It is good to be surrounded by people who cause us to consider the stewardship of our life. Being at the global summit, Transform World 2012, has caused me to do just that. Perhaps this can be of encouragement to you.

Many people are aware of the 10/40 window, but have you heard about the missional emphasis on the 4/14 window? Luis Bush and others are stirring the church to consider a stronger focus on this "window" in the days ahead.

Hidden Sins, Part One

By Dave Talley Aug. 24, 2012 9:38 a.m. Biblical Exposition, Church Life, Ministry and Leadership, Old Testament

Sin is a reality with which we all must live.  No one can escape the struggles we have with rebelling against God’s call on our lives (cf. Romans 3:10, 23).  However, it is possible to choose whether one will vigorously fight the battle that wages against the flesh or not.  The battle can be overwhelming, but it does not have to result in demoralizing defeat.

A Book Worth Reading: Trellis and the Vine

By Dave Talley May. 14, 2012 9:58 a.m. Church Life, Ministry and Leadership

Many books hit the market regularly, and we are bombarded by the “latest” trend and the “best” resources and the “proven” strategies, all with the promise of making us more successful in our ministries or in life. I highly recommend a book that is powerfully simple and biblical: The Trellis and the Vine, by Colin Marshall and Tony Payne, published by Matthias Media (2009). It is an easy read with only 12 chapters and 196 pages.
