Attached you will find my doctoral dissertation. We’re going to use it as a guide for our praying, conversation and action as we allow The Lord to Resurrect us. Thank the Trinty and thank you and God bless you! 🙂 I have about 15-20% of my 100 congregants reading it now. I just read your “Second Resurrection” book. The concept of a second resurrection being necessary for the congregation was in itself a wonderful insight, but that such a resurrection must first take place in me was very convicting. I read it prior to coming to the Emmaus Project and it “tugged at my soul”. I must say that “A Second Resurrection” has affected me most profoundly. I’m striving to open my heart up to Jesus so he can cleanse me of all the remaining rebellion within me! Thank you for this book! Reading 2nd Resurrection has enabled me to see the emerging rebirth of the urgency I once felt to see the lost saved.īill, our Sunday morning services are leading more people to salvation and rededication than have happened at any other time in this church’s history! Still, reading 2nd Resurrection has called me to any even greater level of commitment and surrender. I found an article you’d written describing 6 characteristics of healthy churches, and actually called y’all back earlier in the summer about dealing with bullies. During the last Conference cycle, my wife came under unbelievable attack from people who claim to be the most spiritual in this church. Like many of the pastors you described in your book, I’d allowed myself to grow “jaded” or “cynical.” Oh, I still believed Jesus was and is the only way to salvation and eternal life in the Kingdom, but I’d lost the urgency and become complacent. Thanks for always helping to pry my eyes, my heart, my head, my life wider open to the Spirit. The pack features a spanking new HD and 3D version of the classic space shmup Xevious, imaginatively titled Xevious Resurrection (the pack obviously needed some iota of predictability somewhere. Each week would highlight a particular part and issue some “challenges” for people to complete during the coming week as individuals and as teams.

As I was thinking of what the message/worship theme(s) for this summer I thought about what you said in the book about the Sermon on the Mount and being followers/apprentices of Jesus rather than of “the book.” So, I’m thinking of doing a summer long “Apprentice” type series using the Sermon on the Mount. It has helped me clear some fog and get a better picture of my call and God’s vision for where I’m at. I continue to read and re-read Second Resurrection, and want to thank you for writing this book. I am in my fourth year here and need to “go for it!” Thanks for the inspiration and the resources! I plan on using your book with my key leaders, which could mean a move for me in the summer of 2008, which is okay.
