Charisma News - "Last May, Operation Mobilization Sweden asked staff newcomer Karen Daniels, from South Africa, to organize the mid-August initiative. The name “IGNITE! Sweden” was her inspiration, born of a desire to see this land on fire for God once again. After orientation and training at the base in Jönköping, 20 participants from 12 countries (including seven from OM Lifehope’s Transit Challenge 2011 Team) divided in two. One group traveled to Malmö in the extreme south, and one headed to Stockholm in the north."
Should Churches Have Multiple Worship Service Styles? Consumerism or Contextualization?
Ed Stetzer - "I'm often asked about whether churches should have multiple services. It's a big question because it addresses issues of preference, consumerism, and mission. I've been thinking about it and wanted to ask your help to ponder it further.
This is another one of those areas where the pendulum seems to be swinging. When "praise choruses" were being introduced into corporate worship around the 1980s, churches that begin to use them were typically considered to have "blended worship," whereas churches that did not had "traditional worship."
The Value of Obedience (Devotional)
In Touch Ministries - "Despite Peter's vast fishing experience, he returned from a night's work with nothing to show for his efforts. It's quite possible that the Lord's request to let the nets down one more time struck him as unreasonable—after all, Peter and his partners were the professionals. Nevertheless, the fisherman complied, and his obedience blessed many.
Scripture demonstrates that divine plans often defy human logic. For instance, who would design a battle strategy that involved only marching and shouting? God told Joshua to conquer Jericho that way, and doing so proved successful (Josh. 6:1-5)."
