I find this post quite interesting… and am quite envious in a sense of this theory. I am serving in my first ministry position as a Children’s Pastor…but because the pay is not enough to support my family, I also have to work at nights cleaning medical buildings (I hate doing this, but feel God is providing now in this way). Do you have any wisdom to this, Tony? I know you are in incredibly busy man, but I honestly would love to quit my secular job and spend all of my time doing the ministry of the church. Honestly, I would.

It’s a while since this post was written, but I’ve only just caught up on it. Personally I think the idea is rubbish. It’s the sort of thing people talk about in an ideal world where jobs are two a penny, and people can hop from one thing to another without blinking an eyelid. For those of us who can’t always afford to follow our passion or our dream, this sort of thing just doesn’t wash. It just provides another guilt trip for people who are already doing their best.
Okay, what about faith? Surely God will provide?
Yes, he does, but not always in the job we’re passionate about and someone else is already doing. I don’t find Paul exhorting people to do this in the epistles. He’s more practical than that.

What about the bills? I've done this. I know EXACTLY what I am supposed to do (Youth Ministry) and how I'm suppposed to do it (UNAPOLOGETIC TEACHING OF GOD'S WORD USING CULTURE AND MEDIA). I have no where to do this. The bills are unpaid. My truck is being repo'd.

If you’re not interested in the corporate tactics described and defended here, you may be interested in the Organic Church movement.

Frank Viola has done some excellent writing on the topic, and his latest book is very timely.

Perry Noble once said “God help the pastor who only listens to people who believe just like him”. I completely agree with this.

But after a few comments made by some of the folks here, I begin to wonder how many people believe this. So far, some of the people that disagreed with a few Newsping staff and NS leadership have been accused of “masturbating to porn” and being “internet bloggers who sit in their underwear in their mother’s basement and manage their facebook accounts all day long – Perry Noble Blog 11/18/2008″.

On the flip side, many people (including myself) have been overly critical of this post and NS as a whole.

My point is that it is ok to disagree. But don’t be offensive, judgemental, and stereotypical.

isn’t it interesting to see how people interpret the Bible differently. caleb/amy, i couldn’t disagree with you more. you are certainly entitled to your opinion, though.
