The blogging medium is perfect for making a polemic point without the
constraints of the format of a journal article and without the length of
a book. But the downside is that a step-by-step argument spread over
several days can lose its momentum and seem sort of piecemeal. Plus
there is simply the practical issue: where do you find the links to the
entire series?
The Cripplegate has run a few such series, so I thought it would be helpful to give all the links in one spot.
Eric Davis, who pastors a church that he planted in Jackson Hole, WY, did a series on common mistakes church planters make:
1. An introduction and an overview of the series: Cautions for church planters.
2. A warning about the idolotry of “mission”: Church planters and missionolatry.
3. A warning about church planters willing to do whatever it takes to grow: Church-planting and pragmatism.
4. A warning about losing sight of the importance of the Sunday morning sermon: Church-planting and pulpit priority.
5. A warning about seeing church planting as the end for which God created the world: Church-planting and idolatry.
Josh Thiessen did a series on training the next generation of church leaders:
1. An introduction to the series: The next generation.
2. The art of informal discipleship: Part 1.
3. Formal discipleship: Part 2.
4. Elder training: Part 3.
