The Western church is hemorrhaging! It is unmistakable that more churches must be planted and dying churches need revitalizing. But, what if our focus has been misdirected? What if the church was never called to plant churches, or to create exponential growth?

"Before we started down the street to the first home, we stood together and said a prayer. I prayed the Lord would open doors for us that day, so we could teach people the gospel we loved. When I opened my eyes I saw a wonderful vision: I saw before me a large door and frame that covered the entire street we were about to tract. As I pondered the meaning of what I saw, the voice of the Spirit spoke to me and said, "God will open the doors for you this day!" As I continued to look, I saw this large door begin to open before me until it was fully open and the street was no longer blocked. "As...

When this book was begun in late November 2013, the intent was to write a commentary on chapter five of Paul's letter to the church at Ephesus. But about fifty pages into that endeavor, it became clear that the book was not going in that direction. For one thing, his letter to that church had not even been mentioned in those pages. For another, the focus up to that point had been on Paul's missionary journeys. The reason for those problems was that the original intent had been to put his letter to the church into the context of his journeys. But there was so much to say about the journeys ...

This book places us in a world where every decision ripples into eternity. The actions of leaders—whether to consolidate gains or expand into new horizons, carry eternal significance.

Russia, 1997-1998 Learning the language in order to bring the Gospel to people has a hidden drawback. The more the nationals helped us with the language, the closer our relationship grew with them. And then it really hurt to say goodbye. We spent only four weeks with some Russians learning their language, but at the end of our time, a number of them begged us to stay much longer. We couldn’t. The language school moved us every month to a new city in Russia. After our first city of Nizhni Novgorod, we realized that we would never see those people again. With our extremely primitive ...

This book is the culmination of over 35 years of research and interviews. Does Hawaiian culture and religion just come from the Kapu System where there was death with no mercy or grace for those who broke kapu (taboos), like death for men and women who ate together? If so, where did Aloha come from? The volume of evidence in this book for the existence of one benevolent Creator God of Aloha in Polynesia is overwhelming.
