Chapter 10 - The Law of Development

 Real church growth is about growing people, not managing programs.  Yes.  And the majority of our members were part of this huge new 'Information Age' that technology brought about.  Information at our fingertips.  The urge to just learn but never do.  

How do we help our members tell the story of Jesus in their daily lives?  Some are really good at it, others need a little practice and encouragement.  How do we move from teaching to training?

Chapter 11 - The Law of Leadership

I think our members understand their role in sharing the Gospel but just not always sure how to carry it out.  The key phrase for me in this chapter was "Every believer has a crowd to serve the Gospel to." (p 181)   How do we continue to grow in faith so we understand that every person we see today - from our spouse to our children to our neighbors to our coworkers to... - is someone that we can serve in love today?

Chapter 12 - The Law of Vision

 This was a difficult chapter to figure out exactly what he is talking about.  On p 195, he gets into 'parables, special calling and local impact.  I guess those all boil down (for me at least) to being ourselves.  Not trying to do things that really aren't us.  Not following someone else's program.  Steve should do what Steve has the ability to do.  Our community has a personality, and needs, and we need to love our neighbor in respect to those.  What else do you see here?
