The Apostolic Movement in the Emerging World
by Bill Easum
The word “Apostolic” or “Apostle” has been used many ways over the centuries. Some think it refers only to those few disciples who had been with Jesus plus Paul. Others see no reason to conclude that the role of Apostle came to an end with the […]
Church leaders constantly ask us how to get people to commit enough time to do lay ministries. “My people are just too busy,” they say.

It’s the time of year when churches across the nation will be installing their new officers, committee chairs, board members, etc. There will be a meaningful installation service (there will be a meaning-full service in your church, right?) and these committed men and women will excitedly begin their service to the church for the next year.
