good evening, mkm9 What is a church plant? That is when you start a new church from the ground up. When doing this it is really interesting because you have no building or facilities to work with. My job in the church is the director of outreach ministies. I try to teach people how to share their faith and then convince thwm to go out and do it. And you are right what is"cowgirls"? By the way for a new church to be considered a plant it must be a new work not a result from a split. |

Hi-this gets more curious as we go--a"cowgirl" is a believer in Jesus who doesn't hold to a specific denomination. there are basic tenents about HIM as revealed in scripture and we see HIM and follow HIM not denominations. regarding this "plant"--Imust ask about your "grounding"-you say you are a new root since you cannot be split off. What is the foundation of these "plants" ? and faith in whom do you teach others to share? IN HIM mkm9 | ||||||

hi, mkm9 Thanks for the clarification never heard the term "cowgirl" used that way before. Let me try to explain church plant alittle more indepth. when I use the term split I am refering to the viloent seperation of a local body over some frivilous arguement. Of course there are other churches involved in a support role. If you would like specific information about this particular work check out our web site www.hopeshere.com As far as to what do I teach maybe disciple would be a better word you see rather than pull members oput of other churches our membership comes from our core group sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ and seeing people come to know him as their personal Lord and Savior. Then I help them to grow in the faith til they can go out and reproduce themselves. You see my personal passion is to share the Good News of Christ with everyone He gives me the opportunity to. As far as your comment about following in Him and not denominations I whole hearedly agree although I do work within the Southern Baptist Convention I do not pledge my support to the SBC but I pledge my whole life to Christ. I would love to hear more about your ideas along the lines. In Christ name tgc |

mkm9, Let me define for you what I mean by reproduce theirself. When a christan has grown enough in their faith that they are open enough to the spirit to follow Him in leadings others to Christ and decipleing them. As far as denominations go yes their are problems however there are benifits. One just has to decide if the benifits outweigh problems. For example within the SBC ther are many great works being accomplished that could never be done indepdently. For example the childerns homes the support of a very well trained and able to stay in the field missionary work. To name a couple. The other attractive thing about the SBC is that each church is independent unto it's self We all agree on the essentials of the Christan Faith and within that frame work agree to work together. But as I have said before if that ever changes I will be the first to leave. Hope your machine problems go away soon. In The Love Of Christ, tgc | ||||||

"conformed to the image of His Son" "until Christ is formed in you" Reproduce ourselves? God forbid! May it never be! Our purpose is never to reproduce ourselves. Rather our purpose and goal is that Christ should be formed in those whom we disciple. God's purpose for His children is that they become conformed to the image of His Son. It is never that they should be reproductions of ourselves. Until Christ Is Formed In You NASB Galatians 4:19 My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you-- AMPLIFIED Galatians 4:19 My little children, for whom I am again suffering birth pangs until Christ is completely and permanently formed (molded) within you, To Become Conformed To The Image Of His Son NASB Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; AMPLIFIED Romans 8:29 For those whom He foreknew [of whom He was aware and loved beforehand], He also destined from the beginning [foreordaining them] to be molded into the image of His Son [and share inwardly His likeness], that He might become the firstborn among many brethren. Zeal and enthusiasm for God are desirable traits. But what KIND of zeal ought we to have? The kind that is "enlightened and according to [correct and vital] knowledge." AMPLIFIED Romans 10:2 I bear them witness that they have a [certain] zeal and enthusiasm for God, but it is not enlightened and according to [correct and vital] knowledge. |
