Monthly Bible Study Article

Becoming Salt and Light

How is your seasoning?

One of the key objectives of Francis Schaeffer's work was to help Christians think and process who they are in Christ. In so doing, one would look at God's precepts and then work them out so he could better be salt and light in the world in which we live. Schaeffer found, both as a pastor and in his early personal practice of Christianity, too much shallowness, preoccupation with trivialities, and what he saw as "irrationality."

Church Growth Tip of the Week

A leader must be willing to make improvements and change, even if it steps on the toes of others, but stay firm and be uncompromising to the Word. At the same time, allow people to be in the process with a listening ear, so they can catch the new direction and take ownership of it. (Colossians 4:7-8; Philippians 4:8-9)

Prayer Guide for your Church and Pastor!

Pray that your church commits to place its focus on the Supremacy of Christ and be dependent upon Him (Gal. 6:14; Col. 1: 15-17)!
