					<description><![CDATA[Jesus was very clear about the mission He gave His Church: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19). For two thousand years, Christians rightly returned to those words as our Great Commission.

					<description><![CDATA[“My sheep hear my voice.” (John 10:27) An older woman was widely regarded as a saint — servant-hearted, wise, and joyful in the Lord. Then one Sunday she heard her rector preach that God spoke to him about a direction for their congregation. She lamented, “I wonder why God never speaks to me like that.” [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I’ve written much over the years on Church Health principles, specifically on the importance of being balanced in all five vital areas of a local church&#8217;s ministry. I’ve captured those five areas in the acrostic: VITAL, which stands for Vision for Evangelism/Mission, Intentional Worship, Transformation to Christlikeness, Authentic Community, and Lay Mobilization.

Let me count the ways…” There are several ways in Scripture and throughout the history of the Church that God&#8217;s faithful people have listened to Him and received His guidance. However, these ways are necessarily limited. First and foremost, listening to God must always be bounded by obedience to His [&#8230;]]]></description>
