Schaeffer on Why God Came Into The World

We’re excited to share a handful of Christmas related articles, as well as guest posts from some of our authors, in the coming weeks as we prepare to celebrate Christmas! We’re kicking off with some words from Francis Schaeffer on Why God Came Into the World. Enjoy!

Got Good Dogmatics?

The foundations of Dogmatics are essential, yet annoying if you are a cat!

We can master the entire Bible and even be totally transformed by the Word; but, if nothing comes from it, it is meaningless and nearly worthless. This is one of the main points of the book of James. Our faith must have a response to it. Yes, we may be saved, but what good is it if we do nothing with it?

1. Why do you suppose Christians are attracted to charismatic leaders with little substance rather than leaders who disciple and convict?

Would people in your church rather have a good, charismatic pastor who makes them feel happy and motivates but does not teach well, or a pastor who is a great teacher and convicts and challenges people but has a less than desirable personality?

Who would Christ rather have leading your church? Why?

Acts29.org is about continuing the work of doing Church…

The principle focus of us for the last 15 plus years is seeking why so many churches are failing!
 
This is what we found, and it is not pretty: Our churches are not glorifying Christ because we are failing at knowing and growing in Him personally. We are not able to teach others when we are failing at following His Word and Christ alone! Remember, it is His Church and we are the caretakers of it. Thus, we must act according to our call and His precepts.
Did  you know that it is blatantly evil to twist God’s truths to fit our whims and rationalize our sin. It creates a bad “who” and a bad “how we are.” Do not allow this in your church! We have to be willing to prevent, discipline, and even kick out the manipulative and deceptive people in our churches.

· The Real Issues!

· Patterns that are Visible! 

· Opportunities for Growth!

We will fill this Blog with solid research, insightful articles, practical curriculums, essays, tools, and resources to help you prepare your church to grow in Christ and glorify Him! Our articles and studies have been carefully, exegetically prepared with careful, steadfast, inductive analysis and word studies of God’s most precious Word. We do not add anything to God’s Word that is not already there nor do we take away from insights and ideas that are there. 

These blog entrees will be the real deal, what God may have to say to us. These are offered to you so you may understand what is in His Word and in your church, to appreciate, comprehend, and to be challenged to grow richer and deeper in your relationship to Christ and be better used for Church Leadership Development and then to others around you. 

It is our intention to use this blog as a sounding board for the Schaeffer Institute, to post some of our research findings on what is the Church universal and your church is up too, 

See our home site: www.churchleadership.org

The entity of the resources on this blog will be research made practical!
