God wants to bring is reformation, not revolution

  What we cannot have is a revolutionary spirit coming into the Church. There is a spirit of revolution that says, “Burn it all down.” It says, “Because I was wounded, because I wasn’t ordained, because I don’t understand ecclesiastical structures, or because I don’t like the way things have been done, I’m going to tell everybody that we need to burn it all down.” “We need to get rid of order. We need to get rid of ordination. We need to get rid of preachers. We need to get rid of all of it.” And now we have a spirit of revolution . But what God wants to bring is reformation, not revolution. God is not calling us to tear down the Church. He is calling us to build upon the foundation that has already been laid. And let me say this to the emerging preachers, emerging prophets, and emerging leaders : I want you to hear my heart, because I believe in you. I have been praying for you.

How to Use Your Study Guide


Whether you are teaching a class, leading a small group, discipling an individual, or studying Spirit, Soul, and Body on your own, this Study Guide is designed for you! Here's ow it works:

Each study consist of a Lesson, Lesson Outline, Teacher's Guide, Discipleship Questions, an Answer Key, and Scriptures. Some Lessons also have Additional Information.

The Teacher reads the Lesson aloud. While the Lesson is being read, each student follows along with their own copy of the Lesson Outline.


Once the Lesson is read, the teacher then facilitates a group Bible Study using  the Teacher's Guide. Simply read aloud one numbered section at a time, ask the corresponding questions below, and have the group answer them. Then, repeat the process for the next numbered section. For your convenience, answers  are provided in parentheses.

Except for the corresponding questions and answers, the information on the Teacher's Guide is the same as the Lesson Outline. Therefore, the group should use their Lesson Outline to assist them in answering the questions.

Whenever a question mentions a specific scripture, be sure to have the group look it up in their Bibles and read it together before answering the question. Feel free to interact with the group over the scriptures and points from the Lesson as time allows. Don't let any individual dominate the discussion, but try to draw out the quieter ones for participation in the group conversation. As much as possible, keep the discussion centered on the scriptures and the Lesson points at hand. Remember, the goal is understanding (Matthew 13:19).

Discipleship Questions are provided for further study and meditation. They are designed for use as "homework", but according to the teacher's discretion may be helpful during the group study sometimes as well. Each Lesson comes with an Answer Key. As a brief review before launching into the current Lesson, the teacher may wish to go over the group Answer Key for the previous study's Discipleship Questions.


Some Lessons also have Additional Information. This section is geared toward the teacher. It contains supplementary information, illustration, and resource recommendations for further study.


Scriptures from the King James Version are included as another tool for reference and meditation.

For personal study, read the Lesson and review the Teacher's Guide. Next, do the Discipleship Questions and check your worth with Answer Key. For maximum impact be sure to utilize the Additional Information and Scriptures.
