The Five Characteristics of Movements
By Ryan Shaw
It is common to hear about “movements” today. We may refer to our campus ministry, local church network or denomination as a movement.
We want to see “movements to Christ” among unreached people groups and rapid reproducing “church planting movements” where today there are few disciples. Our hearts long for a “movement” across the body of Christ prioritizing the great commission as it was intended.
God is building true movements around the world but we need to understand what they are. As we are partnering with God in the “mission movement” it is essential to grasp what it means to see “the great commission” as a movement.
A professor of mine from Fuller Theological Seminary, Dr. Bobby Clinton, has studied movements for many years. He not only studies Christian movements, but secular movements, religious movements of all kinds, historical movements, social movements, etc.
His conclusion is that movements have similar characteristics no matter their type. There are commonalities that exist whether the movements surround an ideology or a ministry.
There are five common commitments made on the part of those involved in a movement. These apply the same to a movement like communism or a movement seeking to outlaw abortion.
We want to understand and embrace these five commitments as we work to see the “mission movement” developed, matured and spread across the body of Christ globally.
Clinton defines a movement as a “groundswell of people committed to a person or ideals and characterized by the following important commitments.”
1) Commitment to Personal Involvement
2) Commitment to Persuade Others to Join
3) Commitment to the Beliefs and Ideals of the Movement
4) Commitment to Participate In a Non-Bureaucratic, Cell-Group Organization
5) Commitment to Endure Opposition and Misunderstanding
The movement toward seeing the fulfillment of the great commission in this generation requires each of these five commitments being internalized by those pursuing it. This means prioritizing the great commission to its rightful place and being committed as an active voice on its behalf.

Re: 2013年10月14日至18日熱線話題
主的話語是亮光，照亮我方向；
主的話語是明燈，指引我前行；
主的話語是祝福，恩典永同住；
主的話語是嗎哪，供養不缺乏；
主的話語是力量，軟弱變堅強；
主的話語是幫助，帶我走正路；
主的話語常記心，寶貝如精金；
主的話語常思想，生活有希望；
主的話語如活水，源源不斷淌；
主的話語我最愛，一生不偏離。
常常喜樂：因為喜樂的心乃是良藥，
不住禱告：因為主說你們禱告，無論求什麼，只要信，就必得著；你們祈求，就尋見，叩門，就給你們開門。
凡事謝恩：因為萬事互相效力，叫愛神的人得益處。
敬虔加上知足的心便是大利：因為主說：我總不撇下你，也不丟棄你。人賺得全世界，喪失了生命又有什麼益處呢。
當將你的憂慮卸給神，因為祂顧念你們：主告訴我們：“應當一無掛慮，凡事藉著禱告、祈求和感謝，將你們所要的告訴神，神所賜出人意外的平安，必在基督耶穌裡保守你們的心懷意念”。

肉體雖然毀壞，內心卻一天新似一天：主說：“這至暫至輕的苦楚，是為了成就將來永遠無比的榮耀。等你們受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。”你不要害怕，因為我與你同在，不要驚惶，因為我是你的神，我必堅固你，我必幫助你，我必用公義的右手扶持你。
凡勞苦擔重擔的人，到我這裡來，我就使你們得安息（請注意這裡的“就”字，是肯定句，是神的保證）：你不要害怕，因為我與你同在，不要驚惶，因為我是你的神，我必堅固你，我必幫助你，我必用公義的右手扶持你。
得救是本乎恩，也因著信：人非有信，就不能得神的喜悅，因為凡到神面前來的人，必須信有神，且信祂賞賜那尋求祂的人。因為神的義正在這福音上顯明出來，這義是本於信，以致於信，義人必因信得生。
不要為明天憂慮，因為明天自有明天的憂慮，一天的難處一天當就夠了：因為明天要生何事我們不知道，我們不過是一片雲霧，出現少時就不見了。
要專心依賴耶和華，在你所行的事上都是要認定祂，祂必指引你的路：因為敬畏耶和華是智慧的開端，認識至聖者就是聰明。
不可貪戀別人的錢財，要以自己的有的為知足：因為錢財也會長上翅膀，如鷹向天飛去。
主的話語每一句都帶著能力、應許和祝福，但是用心的人才能體會到，感謝主的話一直陪伴我，帶領我，指引我前行的方向。

真真实实，踏踏实实！@杨牧师
能活得真真实实，是一种勇敢。
我们都害怕受伤，于是找到了一个自认能很好保护自己的“武器”——面具。
它似乎令我们在社会中越来越强大、在教会中越来越“属灵”，
只有“刚强”与“完美”，以为这样就不会受伤。
只是却不知，它也让自己迷了路——
无论人生，还是信仰——累！
真真实实，才有踏踏实实！

青年學徒用工具，
成年眾人戴面具，
死放棺中似櫥具。 人生早些醒來啊 ! @ 姚謙

《讓他們去天堂修理柵欄》
東蕩子最後詩《讓他們去天堂修理柵欄》2013年10月6日
全詩如下：
魚池是危險的，堤壩在分崩離析
小心點，不要喊，不要驚擾
走遠，或者過來
修理工喜歡庭院裡的生活
讓他們去天堂修理柵欄吧
那裡，有一根木條的確已斷裂
東蕩子有首著名詩 叫《朋友》，
寫到 “要在火焰中盜取海水”。
東蕩子本名吳波
生於洞庭湖邊的東盪村，
父親是木匠，後來寫詩，就以東盪村作筆名
東蕩子詩歌裡有大量詩作寫到死亡
貼在博客裡最後一詩《容器請在這裡輸入標題 》和
最後《讓他們去天堂修理柵欄》似乎驚奇地暗示自己結局！

Bud & Bloom - Helen Parry
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, a new creation has come: the old has gone, the new is here.
2 Corinthians 5:17
The gospel offers us a new life.
But first we have to face up to our dissatisfaction with the old one. It is this dissatisfaction that leads to repentance and faith in Christ. As we seek to understand the implications of that, we may hold on to 2 Corinthians 5:17. The difficulty with this verse, however, lies in its translation. The Greek text says simply: ‘If anyone is in Christ – new creation.’ Many translations render this: ‘he (or she) is a new creation.’ But this, for me, reactivates my old dissatisfaction. I am still prone to the same tendencies and weaknesses that led me to Christ in the first place. So in what sense can I believe that I have a new life?
New creation has biblical resonances far beyond the individual.
The wonderful promises in Isaiah of deliverance from exile find their climax in the vision of chapter 65: ‘See, I will create new heavens and a new earth’ (65:17). And in a difference context, in his letter to the Galatians (6:15), Paul declares that ‘what counts is new creation’.
Christ’s redemptive work
Has inaugurated the new creation that will, of course, be consummated on his return (Revelation 21:1-5). So, as we put our faith in Christ, we step, so to speak, into that new creation, and become a part of it. Yes, the creation still groans (Romans 8:22) and so do we (2 Corinthians 5:2), but it is the groaning of eager expectation, confidence and faith.
I am not perfect, but nor am I ‘just the same old me’.
The dissatisfaction I now experience is not the dissatisfaction of futility and hopelessness
but of aspiration and of possibility.

You raise me up… To more than I can be. 你鼓舞了我...讓我能超越自己。

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
然後，我會在寂靜中等待，
Until you come and sit awhile with me.
直到你的到來，並與我小坐片刻。
You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;

Ten Things about Preaching by Adam Thomas
I recently realized something that astounds me: this summer I passed the century mark for sermons preached. Since my first incoherent ramblings about the Letter to the Hebrews during a Homiletics class in seminary to the sermon I'm giving this Sunday, the Holy Spirit (along with my mentors and parishioners) have taught me so much about the craft of preaching. As I look toward the horizon of my next hundred sermons, I'd like to share with you ten things I've learned during the first hundred.
1. More than anything, preaching a sermon is an act of trust. I have discovered that the sermons I think are home runs don't generate nearly as much “press” as the ones that I think are only okay. But every time I give what I think is a mediocre sermon, multiple people come up to me afterwards and tell me how much it spoke to them. Could this possibly be because I decided I needed to trust God more in the preaching of the mediocre sermon than the home run? And in that act of trust I was more open to the movement of the Holy Spirit during delivery? And in that openness I connected more intimately with my listeners? If so, I can conclude one of two things: either I can strive to write only mediocre sermons (nope!), or I can strive to find the place of openness and trust each time I mount the steps to the pulpit. As I move into my next hundred sermons, I ask God to bless me with an ability to trust God's movement that is independent of my perceived skill.
2. Preaching is not about showing expertise. I learned this lesson thanks to theRev. Dr. David Lose and the Biblical Preaching Project I participated in at Luther Seminary in St. Paul. Showing yourself to be an “expert” in the pulpit might seem like a good thing to do; after all, your listeners want to know that you know what you’re talking about. But be careful taking this too far. If you actively try to demonstrate your expertise or your fluency with biblical interpretation and theology (or worse, discipleship), then you run the very real risk of causing a complete disconnect between yourself and your listeners. Your demonstration will reinforce in their minds that they aren’t good enough or knowledgeable enough to study the Bible or think theologically (or worse, be disciples). It is not your job as the preacher to be the rock that they hang their faith on. (That’s someone else’s job and he’s way more important than you.) If you’ve been in a congregation long enough, they’ll know you know what you’re talking about. They’ll trust you. Use this trust to show your own vulnerability, the shaky times you’ve had, the moments when God surprised you from an unexpected trajectory. Not displaying expertise does not mean not having any. It just means that it shouldn’t be the takeaway from the sermon. Be vulnerable and you will connect even more with God and with the people.
3. The best sermons are about exactly one thing. I learned this the first month of college when my first three-page paper was returned to me without a grade and the words “too many ideas” scrawled in barely legible professor-script. That semester, Dr. Huber taught me the value of presenting one thought and developing it deeply. Moving this practice to preaching is the best advice I can give. Whether your sermons are ten minutes like mine or forty minutes like the ones my in-laws hear every Sunday, the sermon should still be about one thing. Every sentence should support the main thought. If it doesn’t, cut it. Your listeners will stay with you, and you’ll have more room to say what you need to say. Keeping your sermon to exactly one thing will protect you from the dreaded “greatest hits” sermon; that is, a sermon which says everything a passage of scripture could be about but expands on none of them. Pick an idea and work with it. “Turn the crystal,” to quote my Homiletics professor. After all, you’ll get another crack at the readings in three years.
4. The more specific the more universal. This might seem antithetical, but I assure you it’s not. If your sermon is full of generalities or ideas with no examples to back them up, then your words are more likely to sail over the heads of your listeners. So be specific. Illustrate your point with an example that could very well happen to some of your listeners. Even if the example doesn’t hit home, it will hit closer to home than a bland generalization ever will. For example, a few weeks ago I preached about God finding us (inspired by the parable of the lost sheep). At one point, I said this:
“Perhaps you are holding your mother’s hand as she lies dying. She holds your hand back…until she doesn’t. You don’t think you have any more tears, but you are wrong. Your deep grief reveals not how deeply you loved her, but how deeply you love her, and you realize your love will never become a past tense thing. And God finds you in the continued connection between the living and the dead.”
Preaching through real world examples helps connect to the listeners, but it also serves another important purpose. It gives listeners a model by which to reflect spiritually and theologically about their own experience. Modelling this practice from the pulpit is a good end in itself.
5. Every sermon is about the preacher. You might not think that your sermon is about you because you never mention yourself, but every sermon is about the preacher, no matter the content. Even if you did only a minimal amount of self-reflection, every sermon springs from a mingling of prayer, study, examination, and experience. Oftentimes, my sermons will touch on something I’m wrestling with even if I don’t realize it’s on my mind. In the end, if the sermon doesn’t “preach” (in the sense of resonate) to the preacher, then it won’t preach to anyone else. That being said, I don’t advocate having the preacher be the “hero” of the sermon. Just remember that every sermon is about you whether you want it to be or not.
6. Every sermon should be about the listener. The sermon might be about you, the preacher, but it should also be about the people you’re preaching to. The hardest group to whom to preach is a group you’ve never met before. Once you’ve been in a worshipping community for a while, your sermons will start resonating more and more because you will have gotten to know the people. You’ll know their particular struggles. You’ll know what they’re hungry for. You’ll know how to talk to them. Once you know your listeners, there’s no excuse for a “boilerplate” sermon. Hit them where they live. Offer them enough comfort in your words that they will accept your challenge. Offer them enough challenge so they can grow spiritually. But above all, offer them the Gospel in the way they are most likely to hear it. (That’s what Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John did, after all.)
7. Every sermon should proclaim the Gospel. This one seems really obvious, but it’s harder to accomplish than you might think. I do not mean here that every sermon needs to be specifically about the lesson from the Gospel you read just before preaching. What I mean is that every sermon must proclaim the good news of the love of God made known in Jesus Christ our Lord. This good news might come in the form of encouragement or comfort or hope; it might come through pointing out God’s presence in the midst of challenging times; it might come from telling the story in a new, enlightening way. No matter from where you take your text, the Gospel can shine from it. As I said, however, it’s harder than you might think. I wrote a story sermononce that ended up being just a story. There was no sermon in it. But I didn’t notice until too late. When you’re done writing your sermon, look back at it, and ask the “Where’s the beef?” question. If you can’t find the “beef” then you’re not done.
8. There's a difference between a sermon and preaching. A written sermon is like a musical score: the notes are there ready for the orchestra to play them, but until they put bow to string or lips to mouthpiece, the notes are just little black marks on paper. If written sermon is to musical score, then preaching is to making music. The preacher gives life to the words by speaking them. We call it a sermon “delivery” on purpose; God calls preachers to deliver the good news directly to where people “live and move and have their being,” just as the UPS guy delivers packages to your front door. This happens most successfully when spoken aloud. Not only that, but the preaching moment is sacred because during it the Holy Spirit rides the preacher’s breath to the listeners’ ears and down into their hearts.
9. Preaching is theatre. Imagine two preachers have written the same sermon text. One reads it in a drowsy monotone. His head is down, and he’s giving off the general air that he just wants to get through it so he can get on with his day. There’s a good chance half the congregation is checking their smartphones. The other has the text in front of her, but she’s looking up way more than she’s looking down. Her voice rises and lowers in volume; she hammers some words and lets silences linger between thoughts so they can sink in. Perhaps she uses the pulpit as a prop or gestures with her hands at appropriate times. She is engaged in the preaching moment and her whole body is part of the delivery. There’s a good chance the smartphones are safely in pockets and purses. You can hear a pin drop. The congregation is hanging on every word. Delivery matters. I’m not telling you to try to win an Oscar every time you mount the pulpit; just remember that how you speak is just as important as what you say.
10. Preaching is a gift. Have you ever stopped to think just how blessed you are to have an opportunity to proclaim God’s eternal presence, Christ’s love, and the Holy Spirit’s inspiration to a group of willing listeners week in and week out? The next time you are stuck in the middle of sermon preparation, think what a gift God has given you with this opportunity. Then remember God has also given you the gifts to preach the Gospel through words. Thank God for all the gifts in your life, and then get back to work using them.
Those are ten of things I've learned about preaching during my first hundred sermons. I'm curious to know what you've learned, and I hope you'll use the comments below to share.

If you want to be a change agent leader:
You have to be willing to fail. - Not all change will work. You can strategize and plan, but change at some level involves the risk that it may not work. Are you prepared for that?
You need to be able to withstand criticism. – Change invites pushback. Change changes things. (That’s deep, isn’t it?) Change is uncomfortable and people will tell you the degree of discomfort they are feeling. Sometimes in passionate…even mean ways. You’ll feel unpopular at times.
You must evaluate and be willing to adjust accordingly. - You can’t be a change agent and equally be a control freak. You are leading people through sometimes muddy waters. You’ll need to solicit buy-in from others. You will need to collaborate. You’ll need to process the success rate of the change and recalibrate as needed.
You have to outlast the opponents of change. – When the naysayers show up you’ll have to stand strong to the vision of change for which you believe is worth fighting. It will take longer than you hope it will at times and you’ll have to stand the test of time.
You must think bigger than today. – Change is always going somewhere new. Always. So you have to be able to think about the options that aren’t currently on the table. You’ve got to think beyond now and even beyond the most immediate future. You have to look for what others can’t see, choose not to or are afraid to see (or admit).
You have to challenge status quo. - That’s the kicker, isn’t it? You have to go against the way things are being done and the way things have always been done. We are talking about change. Get it? Change. That means something is changing. (Oh, such a deep post.) You have to move people from the center on which they’ve grounded themselves.
You have to have a DNA in which to work that is conducive to change. – And here’s another kicker. Every church and every organization in which you are called to bring change isn’t wired for change. The fact is that some of those said churches and organizations are going to die…they’ll stall…perhaps for long periods…but they’ll eventually just fade away…and nothing you can say or do will encourage otherwise. In the end, you can’t lead people where they don’t want to go. The sooner you can learn that fact the quicker you can try to be a change agent where change will actually occur.
Well, those are some hard realizations. I’ve studied and observed them by working with dozens of churches, businesses and non-profits and in the organizations and churches in which I have led.
What have you seen as necessary criteria to be a change agent?
