This week I came across his interesting post that I think those of us who are involved in the ministry of church planting might need to ponder. You can check it out here.

As I read books I felt I was always reading "This is how I did it, so this is how you must do it too". I was also surprised by the lack of consistency not just in methodology but also in doctrine of church. It was like people planted churches and then looked it at it and said, "Well, that's my doctrine!" to some extent or another. As a church planter I must agree with all of this.

I really appreciate everything that you have said and taught and on board 100%. I do feel like a minnow in a pond of catfish when it comes to spreading this vision and forming a team. I know that I need to just do it and persevere until the team is formed and persons of peace are found. Thanks for the post. It has brought me back to Scripture and my knees as I ponder it anew.

I went to school for a BA in Church Development. I can quote and/or argue just about any church development question you probably have. That said where am I? Working IT in a local hardware store. Is this where I want to be, honestly no. I enjoy working IT, but I serious wonder how it will help the Church at large at times....Everyone wants life experience, but few want to actually develop the up and coming leaders....
