We can take our world for God by giving the ministry to laymen who are using their gifts to grow their groups, to double their groups every two years or less. A group of ten that doubles every eighteen months will reach a thousand people in ten years. It is happening. It is happening like never before. Bill Hybels spoke at North Point’s fifteen-year anniversary. He described North Point by saying it is the fastest movement in history. How did they do it? Doubling groups that are growing through hospitality are two key components. They are two components every church can use to reach their...

How Do You Become the Richest Person in the World? Is it luck? Is it talent? Or is it something else? Elon Musk wasn’t born into wealth or success.

Normal Americans eat a normal diet, the SAD (Standard American Diet). If you don’t eat the SAD diet, you are just weird. If you go Atkins—not as a diet but as a lifestyle, you are just weird. If you are vegetarian, that is really weird. It is just not normal. Normal people eat the SAD diet. Normal people eat burgers and fries and chips and donuts and ice cream and pizza and they always have dessert. That is just normal. Dave Ramsey has a saying that I would like to paraphrase. His saying is: Normal is broke; be weird. His point is that the average American is broke. If you spend like a ...

I find delays. I find setbacks. I find joy. I find disappointment. I find sadness. I find laughter and I find tears. Following God is not at all like I thought it would be. When I study the lives of those who follow God, I find real life. ...

Jesus left us some pretty simple instructions as he left. “Go, make disciples of everyone.” Doubling groups is an expression of obedience to that command. In fact, whether your church is into the “seeker” model or hates the “seeker” model, you have to have doubling groups in order to grow. If your church grows through a T.V. ministry, servant evangelism, visitation, or revivals, you have to have doubling groups to have a doubling church. All growing churches have one thing in common: they have doubling groups. It is Great Commission Fulfillment 101. This is what I call the Iron ...
