Smith\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn his letter to the Romans, Paul makes striking use of the phrase 'the kindness of God' (11:22). The apostle to the Gentiles warns non-Jewish believers in the imperial city of Rome to beware of arrogance, counselling them to 'be afraid' that the kind of spiritual pride which led to the downfall of biblical Israel will also be their undoing. In the deeply troubled times in which we live, this text speaks powerfully to Christians throughout the world, summoning a global church to prioritize what really matters and to discover its unity in the service of the Christ whose life and death revealed in human form precisely the 'kindness of God'. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTaking his starting point from Lesslie Newbigin's analysis of the contemporary historical and cultural context, David Smith explores issues in, and challenges to, the practice of Christian mission and witness today. He surveys the modern movement, starting with the World Missionary Conference in Edinburgh in 1910; examines critical issues concerning the gospel and culture; reflects on mission in the context of violence and suffering; and explores the 'translation' of the gospel for a globalized world. He also examines how Scripture was used to justify the political and economic expansion of European power at the dawn of the modern world, and argues that mission today demands both a new hermeneutic and a revised theology of mission, within which Paul's letter to the Romans will play a significant role.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePAGES - 176\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDIMENSIONS - 13.8 x 1.5 x 21.6 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN - 9781844746491\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Smith D W","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41532268773469,"sku":"35368","price":27.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4732\/3741\/files\/71e01GXigTL._SL1500.jpg?v=1706741736"},{"product_id":"9780310515128-shrink","title":"Shrink: Faithful Ministry in a Church Growth Culture - Tim Suttle","description":"\u003cp\u003eShrink - Tim Suttle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmong followers of Jesus, great is often the enemy of good. The drive to be great---to be a success by the standards of the world---often crowds out the qualities of goodness, virtue, and faithfulness that should define the central focus of Christian leadership. In the culture of today's church, successful leadership is often judged by what works, while persistent faithfulness takes a back seat. If a ministry doesn't produce results, it is dropped. If people don't respond, we move on. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis pursuit of 'greatness' exerts a crushing pressure on the local church and creates a consuming anxiety in its leaders. In their pursuit of this warped vision of greatness, church leaders end up embracing a leadership narrative that runs counter to the sacrificial call of the gospel story. When church leaders focus on faithfulness to God and the gospel, however, it's always a kingdom-win---regardless of the visible results of their ministry. John the Baptist modeled this kind of leadership. As John's disciples crossed the Jordan River to follow after Jesus, John freely released them to a greater calling than following him. Speaking of Jesus, John said: 'He must increase, but I must decrease.' Joyfully satisfied to have been faithful to his calling, John knew that the size and scope of his ministry would be determined by the will of the Father, not his own will. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFollowing the example of John the Baptist and with a careful look at the teaching of Scripture, Tim Suttle dares church leaders to risk failure by chasing the vision God has given them---no matter how small it might seem---instead of pursuing the broad path of pragmatism that leads to fame and numerical success.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePAGES - 192\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDIMENSIONS - 13.97 x 2.16 x 21.08 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN - 9780310515128\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suttle Tim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41532269297757,"sku":"37007","price":30.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4732\/3741\/files\/611m5aG1SjL._SL1500.jpg?v=1706743183"},{"product_id":"9781932805536-tent-making-business-as-missions","title":"Tent Making-Business As Missions","description":"\u003cp\u003eTent Making: Business As Missions - Patrick Lai\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThose who are unfamiliar with the world of tentmaking will find valuable information to introduce them to the concept and to help in getting started.

Here leading practitioners and theologians in the pioneer movement including Doug Gay, Liz Sercombe, Beth Keith, Gerald Arbuckle and others reflect on emerging trends, practices and key theological challenges.

As never before, the call goes out to the Church to help people all over the world lead a truly human life as the children of God. The Church's ministry in the world must therefore include ministry to human economic needs. In this nationalistic age, moreover, each new church must find its own particular economic structure, not adopt one that is dictated by the tradition of other countries. Western mission leaders and laity who demand that churches in the Third World follow the Western Churches' collection-plate economy may be unaware of the rich diversity of practice in their own history represented by such missionary pioneers as the Moravians and the Basel Mission Trading Company. Danker's informative book is a study of those two groups, concentrating particularly on the economic structures they created to support their mission work.

The orders of Jesus to His followers to \"make disciples of all nations\" is far more than simply giving people a basic gospel message.

Why do we have the friends we have, and work and play as we do? It's our choice? Yes, but there are forces, often unseen, that shape every decision we make and every action we take.These hidden, life-shaping values and ideas are not promoted through organized religions or rival philosophies but fostered by cultural habits, lifestyles and the institutional structures of society. Steve Wilkens and Mark Sanford shine a spotlight on the profound challenges to Christianity and faithful Christian living that come from worldviews that comprise the cultural soup we swim in.The authors show how to detect the individualism, consumerism, nationalism, moral relativism, scientific naturalism, New Age thinking, postmodern tribalism and salvation as therapy that fly under our radar. Building on the work of worldview thinkers like James Sire, this book helps those committed to the gospel story recognize those rival cultural stories that compete for our hearts and minds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilkens S \u0026 Sanford M L","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44348661989469,"sku":"32281","price":19.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4732\/3741\/files\/81nCWAUZ0QL._SL1500.jpg?v=1777004494"},{"product_id":"9781850785286-global-passion","title":"Global Passion","description":"\u003ch1 class=\"a-spacing-none a-text-normal\"\u003e\u003cspan id=\"productTitle\" class=\"a-size-large celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"v9axi2-z6pqpi-xvgsif-ngybpe\" data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\"\u003eGlobal Passion: Marking George Verwer's Contribution to World Missions\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-size-large celwidget\" data-csa-c-id=\"v9axi2-z6pqpi-xvgsif-ngybpe\" data-cel-widget=\"productTitle\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis book is a fitting tribute to the founder of Operation Moblilzation, George Verwer, and his contribution and commitment to world mission over the last 40 years.

It is an invitation to engage in relational slowing, to linger long enough for spiritual friendships to develop over time. It is a call to fold key mentoring practices into your life or small group so that they become life-transforming spiritual habits.This book is also for leaders who dream about a day when God creates a mentoring\/disciplemaking culture in their church or ministry. They long to see Spirit-orchestrated friendships folded into every aspect of church life, where two or more people come with the attitude, \"I've come to listen to you, and hear the Holy Spirit through you.
