We have a new Book!
 
It is about small groups, all you need to know and have to start, lead and build them or God's glory. Over 30 years of research and experience went into it. It is simple to understand yet comprehensive. Originally developed for Campus Crusade for Christ, it has been fully revised and it will be an excellent tool for you and your church. Every small group leader should have one, it is your training manual and you one stop all you need to know and it is inexpensive. The Kindle and eBook versions coming out soon...

What is Eisegesis? 2 Corinthians 4:2

Eisegesis or Isogesisis basically reading into or forcing into the Bible or a text what isn't there, thus forcing a meaning that does not exist in that passage to satisfy ones idea, belief, or a whim. This is in opposition to good "Exegesis" that means "to lead out" or "draw out" what the Bible is actually saying. One way, we take what we want and then insert it; the other way, we take from it what it actually says for our edification. One way, we say what we want it to mean; the other way, we take away what God has to say. Eisegesis is interpreting Scripture by one's personal rules rather than a logical, consistent, and reverent understanding from the Bible.

Do not allow anything or anyone to come between you and Christ!

Monthly Leadership Article
 
Is He Greater in You and your Church?

We must ask ourselves if our deepest desires and pleasures in life are dedicated to please Christ.

If you want to grow your church you have to get this imperative fact: Faith is the realization of God's providence and sovereignty. This means that God is in total control, and thus, we can trust our Lord completely. So, do you?

Please keep in mind and prayer that we and our ministry are in need! We are experiencing our own recession, but we are trusting in God's provisions and blessings as we seek to know and serve Him better.


Church Leadership and Prayer Tip of the Week

Ideas to consider: (Romans 12:18 ; 14:18 -19; Ephesians 4:3; Hebrews 12:14 )

The number one reason why people stop coming to your church is conflict and gossip! (James 3:5-6)
 
Pray that our Church, Leadership, and Pastoral Staff become more surrendered and poured out to Christ so they can have spiritual breakthroughs by seeking the fear of God and the mind of Christ and the Spirit's leading (1 Cor. 2:16; Gal. 2:20-21).

There is no question - we are serving our Lord Jesus Christ because of your prayers, support and partnership, Thank-You!


We need your help!
We have a $150K shortfall, and we need your partnership to make our obligations and keep this ministry going!
