Signs of a True Apostle According to the Bible

Signs of a True Apostle According to the Bible Introduction: Understanding Apostleship in the Bible We are living in a time when almost every minister, whether pastoring a church, possessing the gift of prophecy, or engaging in gospel work, labels themselves as apostles. This trend is both absurd and belittling to the true office of an apostle. Apostleship, as defined in the Bible, is a unique…

A Church Planting Strategy for the SBC

“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”Matthew 4:19 Proposal: Encourage every SBC in America to commit one-eight-hour day a month by one of its pastors for the next 4 years to praying about, learning about, and planning for the planting of at least one church in the year 2028.

Conversion: The smoking woman and the dejected church planter

Our dear friend from California visited last week to catch up and cheer up. She is such a great guest! She is a kind listener, so she got me telling stories from my early forties when I left her in California for the wilds of Pennsylvania. It was a time in my life when so much was changing! She teased out bits and pieces I had not considered for a while. For instance, she had not heard many…

First Steps: Pastor Dan Griswold on Officially Launching "The Lowcountry Church Plant"

Just Justice (God Is...)

This post originated as a message at Arise Church. What comes to mind when you hear the word, justice? Probably a lot of things, because right now, justice is a hot button issue. You can hardly get on social media, watch the news, read something, or make a TikTok without being confronted by conversations about justice in one form or another. I can’t even watch some of my favorite movies without…

One thing they don't tell you about being a Mormon in Utah is that you absolutely always have to lock your car on Sunday because if you don't a "Good Ward Member" might do a "good deed" and put some zucchini in there and then you gotta spend the next two weeks making zucchini bread and fried zucchini and every other zucchini recipe under the sun.

Praying the Same Prayer for 35 Years

You will have to trust me, but this really happened Our church had just planted its 5th church in its first 7 years of life. God had been very gracious to us. The church had grown. We gained experience and had seen God do some miraculous things. Most of the churches we had planted were growing by about 25% conversion growth and our own church continued to replace the people we sent away with new…

The Surrender (God Is...)

This post originated with a message from Arise Church. In this scene from the show Turn, George Washington accepts the British surrender at the end of the American Revolution. This was the moment that solidified Washington’s status as perhaps the Father of our nation. Everywhere you look, the United States remembers George Washington. He graces the one-dollar bill and the quarter; our capital is…
