Everyone has a story to tell. God loves good stories. That's why He has so many of them, and He is still working His purposes in people's lives today. The Whitneys have witnessed God's handiwork and experienced provision, rescues, healings and answers to prayer when things appeared hopeless. They've seen God bring good out of seemingly impossible situations. He is the Lord of fulfilled dreams and your small beginnings could lead you to paths of great adventure. Pastor Ron and Wanda have seen a great number of such events, some not even shared yet. They are still speaking, singing and writing. More adventure is coming! As you read these stories, you will learn why they love the ministry and you will also gain a greater understanding of the life-changing gospel of Christ. Ron Whitney was born in Kingston, Washington. He attended Northwest College in Kirkland, Washington where he met his wife, Wanda. Together they sponsored and directed Gospel MusicFests for five years at the Ocean Shores Convention Center. He has been a pastor for 40 years, author, singer, songwriter; missionary-evangelist to West Indies, South America, Uganda, W. Africa, Singapore and Malaysia; and currently is an evangelist and popular guest speaker. They now live in Ocean Shores, Washington.

This book presents the case for loving the local church. It paints a picture of the local church in all its biblical and real life guts, gaffes, and glory in an effort to edify local congregations and entice the disaffected back to the fold. It also provides a solid biblical mandate to love and be part of the body of Christ and counteract the "leave church" books that trumpet rebellion and individual felt needs. Why We Love the Church is written for four kinds of people - the Committed, the Disgruntled, the Waffling & the Disconnected.

“The church has needed this book for a long time.” — Russell Moore If you are considering the ministry, there are two mistakes to avoid. The first is taking up a calling that isn’t yours. The second is neglecting one that is. Discerning Your Call to Ministry will help you know the difference. A tool for seminary students, pastors-in-training, and even current pastors, it serves to confirm or prompt deep thought about the calling to ministry through 10 probing questions, including: Do you desire the ministry? Does your church affirm your calling? Do you love the people of God? Are you willing to surrender? Pastoral dropout rates are high, and seminary admission rates are declining—signs that many of us don’t quite know what we’re signing ourselves up for. Author Jason Allen, a former pastor and the president of North America’s fastest growing seminary, gives readers a better picture of the calling. Presenting a series of diagnostic questions informed by Scripture, church history, and his own experience, he helps those seeking ordination or ministry positions make confident decisions about their service to God, one way or the other.

You are what you love. But you might not love what you think. In this book, award-winning author James K. A. Smith shows that who and what we worship fundamentally shape our hearts. And while we desire to shape culture, we are not often aware of how culture shapes us. We might not realize the ways our hearts are being taught to love rival gods instead of the One for whom we were made. Smith helps readers recognize the formative power of culture and the transformative possibilities of Christian practices. He explains that worship is the "imagination station" that incubates our loves and longings so that our cultural endeavors are indexed toward God and his kingdom. This is why the church and worshiping in a local community of believers should be the hub and heart of Christian formation and discipleship. Following the publication of his influential work Desiring the Kingdom, Smith received numerous requests from pastors and leaders for a more accessible version of that book's content. No mere abridgment, this new book draws on years of Smith's popular presentations on the ideas in Desiring the Kingdom to offer a fresh, bottom-up rearticulation. The author creatively uses film, literature, and music illustrations to engage readers and includes new material on marriage, family, youth ministry, and faith and work. He also suggests individual and communal practices for shaping the Christian life.

What is motive? How do we define motivation? Motive/motivation is defined as something (as a need or desire) that causes a person to act. So then, what causes us to do what we do in the Kingdom? What are the forces driving you to want to minister? Why do you want God to use you? Why do you allow God to use you? Self-inventory has to be taken on a regular basis. In the second book of this series, we learn that it is only through self-examination that our motives in ministry and service remain pure. As leaders and servants in the Church and kingdom of God, we can lose focus on God’s plan and purpose for ministry. In this brief study, we will examine the proper motives for ministry and those to avoid.

"Besides Jesus, no one has kept me from despair, or taken me deeper into the mysteries of the gospel, than the apostle Paul." —John Piper No one has had a greater impact on the world for eternal good than the apostle Paul—except Jesus himself. For John Piper, this impact is very personal. He does not just admire and trust Paul. He loves him. Piper gives us thirty glimpses into why his heart and mind respond this way. Can a Christian-killer really endure 195 lashes from a heart of love? Can a mystic who thinks he was caught up into heaven be a model of lucid rationality? Can an ethnocentric Jew write the most beautiful call to reconciliation? Can a person who lives with the unceasing anguish of empathy be always rejoicing? Can a man's description of the horrors of human sin be exceeded by his delight in human splendor? Can a man with a backbone of steel be as tender as a nursing mother? If we know this man—if we see what Piper sees—we too will love him. Paul's testimony is a matter of life and death. Piper invites you into his relationship with Paul in the hope that you will know life, forever.

These days, there is no shortage of people working in ministry. From leading choirs to directing worship teams to giving praise from the pulpit, our age has seen an explosion of ministries, great and small. Unfortunately, many of us seek the glory of the ministry for the wrong reasons and forget that our role is to give glory to the Lord. In this poetic reflection by Cheryl P. Rivers, this woman of faith reflects honestly on her calling. Showcasing the raw realities of ministry, she highlights how the office is not about self-gratification or hogging the spotlight but about building the kingdom of God. "Don't fret because of the actions of man/Don't lose heart because of what they do," Rivers exhorts in "Keep Pressing On." That sense of spiritual optimism presides over the lyrics in For the Love of Ministry. She asks the reader to keep pressing on, despite the struggles she or he may encounter in ministry. "Every believer should always keep their focus, never lose sight of their true purpose nor the true purpose and meaning of ministry," Rivers says. "They should always remember that their heavenly Father loves them and they're never alone." In her South Carolina congregation, Rivers serves as choir director and music minister. For many years now, ministry has been a central part of her life. This collection of unflinching poems looks at the challenges and exhilarations of performing ministry. In Rivers' view, it is an office not to be taken lightly and never to be used for personal gain. Inspirational, encouraging, and reflective, Rivers' poems help newcomers and veterans alike understand that ministry is about having the right relationship with the Savior and a devotion to prayer that is constant.

This volume is part of the 9Marks: Building Healthy Churches series. Look for upcoming, quick-read formats of the following marks of a healthy church: expositional preaching, biblical theology, the gospel, conversion, evangelism, church membership, discipleship and growth, and church leadership.

Many Christians who experience hurt in the church don't just leave their own churches; they leave the church altogether. Whether they have been wounded by pastors or people in the pews, these believers have had enough and are jumping ship in massive numbers. Pastor and churchgoer Chris Jackson is honest about his own failings as well as those of the church at large. He identifies with many of the hurts churchgoing Christians have experienced. In Loving God When You Don't Love the Church, he hopes to provide healing to wounded and disillusioned believers and restore the wonder of a genuine relationship with Jesus and his bride, the church. Jackson's humility, compassion, and practical advice for healing and restoration will touch those who have left the church and those who love them.
