Paul’s challenge to church communicators: Proclaim the whole will of God

1 May, 2010 By Yvon Prehn Leave a Comment

In the Apostle Paul's farewell to the Ephesian elders, he gives us a summary of the responsibilities of leaders in church that also applies to those who lead in church communication:

For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God. 28Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. 29I know that after I leave, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30Even from your own number men will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them. 31So be on your guard! Remember that for three years I never stopped warning each of you night and day with tears. Acts 20-27-31

Though Paul shares a number of challenges we can apply in our work as church communicators, one of them is especially difficult to apply:

“For I have not hesitated to proclaim to you the whole will of God.”

As we communicate God's messages to his church, we need to make certain we are taking time to communicate all of it, the difficult parts as well as the more pleasant and encouraging ones.

We don't seem to have trouble communicating the upbeat and the positive, quoting God's promises and blessings and we should do that. Those messages alone, however are not the whole will of God and if that is all we are communicating we will present a distorted picture of the Christian message.

Creation of Men’s Logo in LogoSmartz, Webinar On-Demand

27 April, 2010 By Yvon Prehn 2 Comments

This little video shows how easy it is to create a logo for men's ministry using the very inexpensive logo-creation software, LogoSmartz. After you watch this video, be sure to watch the video on how to use the logo created here to make a business or invitation card for men's ministry using it.

One little note: LogoSmartz has updated their software since I created this video, so the interface has a slightly different look. But it is still pretty much the same and all the things I demonstrate in this video you can still do.
