  • It has been a while since I played guitar. Yes, I play the acoustic guitar sometimes while leading worship, but that to me is not real playing. I had turned down a major record deal in 1997 because the words of the music I recorded did not go in line with my new found faith. Now 14 years later, though I am convinced that what I did was the biblical thing to do, I still can’t help wondering why the music I hear in church does not excite me...

  • Chapter 6 – Intercession In Reaching The World For Jesus Part 2 C. INTERCESSION DEFINED I now want to give a simple definition of intercession. Later on we will discuss the concept of intercessory prayer in greater detail.

We shall consider them one at a time.

  • Chapter 6 – Intercession In Reaching The World For Jesus Part 1 A. MODEL CHURCH FOR PRAYER AND MISSIONS We find an outstanding church in the Book of Acts. It was both a praying church and a mission-minded church, and therefore is of special interest to us. It was located in the city of Antioch on the northern coast of Syria. It was the first Gentile church, and some noted leaders in early Christianity were among its members. Luke tells us something about its special character and ministry: ‘There...

The two little words, “commit” and “rest”, are of great importance. They form the divine door way through which you pass into your daily walk with the Lord. By “committing” the things to God which we are powerless to change and “resting”...
