Minding the Heart

Minding the Heart: The Way of Spiritual Transformation
By Robert L. Saucy (Kregel)
A 2014 OUTREACH RESOURCE OF THE YEAR

Minding the Heart is a rich and provocative read for believers longing for and/or in need of rekindling a heart-to-heart relationship with the Father. Toward this end, the book provides a wonderfully thorough, biblically accurate and practical guide to spiritual growth and transformation beyond mere platitudes. Specifically, Saucy guides the reader on a journey to understand the human heart “… from (which) flow the springs of life,” (Prov. 4:23). No pun intended, this book is not for the faint of heart; that is, for those who remain oblivious to their own brokenness or the propensity of the heart toward evil, perversity, pride and deceit. Rather, it is for those who have come to the end of themselves … indeed all those who long to know God as they continue to believe he can be known. What are the dynamics of the heart? Why do we struggle so? And how can we watch over it so as to daily experience, in both action and attitude, the abundant life that Christ desires for us to live? Beyond such questions, Minding the Heart delivers sound theological answers from an experientially wise perspective. —Mark and Linda MeYmaz, from the March/April 2014 issue of Outreach magazine

How Much Tech Do You Actually Need?

Because you cannot do this alone, you are going to have to trust the right individuals who know more about tech than you do. Your calling is to shepherd. Do that.

Gene Appel: Do Less Ministry; Reach More People

None of the programs at our church were bad in and of themselves. The volume of it just prevented us from being focused on building relationships with those who are far from God. So, we had to do less ministry to reach more people. It sounds funny, but people had to be trained in how to do life with nonbelievers or people spiritually disinterested.

When Familiar Becomes Careless

God wants to be in a relationship with his people that’s not marked by fear but love. Not apprehension, but an appreciation of his great grace and compassion.
