Called Estante, Spanish for 'bookshelf', this free digital library smartphone app works offline and allows isolated pastors and church leaders to easily store, view, and share digital Christian resources anywhere in the world. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/the-great-cheerleader-shortage-6412 2011-08-09T09:27:31-05:00 The church is experiencing right now a major cheerleader shortage. And you could be a part of the Aaron and Hur brigade that's part of the answer. Maybe not a player, but you could encourage a leader; you could stir up support for a leader; you could offer praise to someone who has a bucket full of criticism already. Don't wait till the funeral to give it to him. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/when-the-quarterback-s-a-referee-6255 2011-01-03T17:02:32-05:00 No spiritual leader should spend his time as a referee. There's too much ground to gain, and he's God's quarterback. And no team that wears Jesus' colors should waste their time in struggles with each other. We have a Savior to follow together and a sea of dying people around us to rescue. Let's fight for them and not with each other! http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/downloads/index.php?id=9497 2010-08-25T15:39:37-05:00 God's Word identifies the attitudes and actions we are to display toward our spiritual leaders. These questions will help you evaluate how well you are fulfilling your responsibilities as a follower. http://internetevangelismday.com/bookreviews/church-leaders-books.php 2010-08-07T17:16:14-05:00 The books in this section cover different aspects of church ministry, and are highly recommended. Includes free downloadable e-books. http://biblica.com/ministry/project.php?outreach=1972 2009-09-16T17:21:40-05:00 Through Biblica's Equipping Leaders project, we train pastors and leaders to use Scripture to strengthen others for evangelistic outreach and personal discipleship. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2013:17&version=NIV 2009-07-27T16:54:50-05:00 We're told to respect those in leadership positions over us, doing our best to make their tasks easier and not needlessly difficult. They're accountable to God for their leadership, so we shouldn't make their job harder than it needs to be. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans%2012:7-8&version=NIV 2009-07-17T10:18:07-05:00 Whatever it is we do in life, whether it's lofty or humble, the Bible makes it clear that we're to do it with honor and diligence. Leaders and teachers here are exhorted to carry out their tasks with integrity. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Life-That-Matters/Radio-Program/The-Truth-About-the-Election-8134 2008-11-07T11:53:33-05:00 Daniel puts the rise and fall of national leaders in a larger context. He saw his own nation fall and the rise and fall of three kingdoms and he told the most powerful man in the world, “Praise be to the name of God forever and ever; wisdom and power are His. He changes times and seasons; He sets up kings and deposes them” (Daniel 2:20-21). And then he gives the ultimate bottom-line on our headlines: “There is a God in heaven” (Daniel 2:28). http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Mission/High-Value-Targets-3933 2008-07-28T16:33:21-05:00 It's interesting that the familiar verse about the devil "prowling around like a lion, looking for someone to devour" is in a passage that is primarily about Christian leaders. Those who are making a difference - or are about to make a difference - for Jesus Christ become special targets for enemy attack.
