Leadership - An Exercise in Paradox

|

Tensions of the Church Leader
By Dr. Thom Rainer

As you lead your church to growth, you will have to demonstrate a great deal of balance. Balance, of course, implies that there is more than one aspect to consider. There are two sides to every coin, so to speak. As such, being a church leader is an exercise in paradox.

Look at a few of the tensions that you must keep in balance.

Spiritual and Pragmatic
Tenacity and Flexibility
Action-Oriented and Patient
Sensitive and Tough-skinned
Ambitious and Content
Traditional and Contemporary

There can hardly be found as complete and functional a doctrinal study from within the Pentecostal movement...[T]here is an unquestionable distinction present in the wedding of two such remarkable scholars and preachers for the formation of so thorough and usable a doctrinal textbook and authoritative reference resource.

I know, it's not a test. It's an evaluation.

Foursquare Does NOT Endorse the New Aimee Movie

| | Comments (1)

"STATEMENT REGARDING ROSSI MOVIE: AIMEE SEMPLE MCPHERSON"

As a denomination, the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel actively seeks to honor the memory of its founder, Aimee Semple McPherson. The Foursquare Church strives to fulfill the mission of Sister McPherson by preaching the Gospel around the world. Further, the Foursquare Church promulgates openly the facts of Sister McPherson's extraordinary life and ministry. However, though open to factual biographical representations of its founder, the Foursquare Church does not support many of the productions that are billed as historical or biographical fiction and that seek to sensationalize various aspects of her life.

The new Richard Rossi release, Aimee Semple McPherson, seems to emphasize and focus on the more controversial areas of Sister McPherson's life, to the extent that the remarkable and miraculous are overshadowed. Additionally, the film includes many of the same inaccuracies and innuendoes that have predominated writings about Sister McPherson's life both preceding and following her death. Because of those things and because the title can lead people to think that the work is truly biographical, the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel is NOT endorsing the movie.
