You have magnified Your word!

Recently as I was reading the DC, gone through an exciting article regarding the current situation of church growth in England.
God’s management consultants: the Church of England turns to bankers for salvation 

Targets have been set. The Church is ill — and business management is going to cure it.

The other is to give business-school training to bishops and deans and, more controversially, to identify a “talent pool” of future leaders — in the official language, people “with exceptional strategic leadership potential for Gospel, Kingdom and Church impact”.

To many in the Church this feels like new ground. The Church of England, they say, should be focused on God, not growth. The Revd Canon Professor Martyn Percy, dean of Christ Church, Oxford, says “Jesus didn’t spend a lot of time going about success.

The idea of a “talent pool” has come under particularly withering attack. The priesthood, says one theologian, is meant to be about service, not self-promotion. The idea of such a pool “doesn’t have a theology”.

No attention is being paid to those Anglicans who don’t go to church at all. Ignore these people, who still care about the institution and feel part of it, and “you can’t remain a national church”.......

The Rt Revd Pete Broadbent, the straight-talking Bishop of Willesden, gives short shrift to such views. The Church of England can no longer rely on being “part of the furniture”, he says.

“If we don’t do something the Church will evaporate from the landscape… The re-evangelisation of England is what we are about.”


In Conclusion my thoughts:God has put some thoughts regarding to the solution!

Still ministries around the world struggling with Human knowledge? 

Great Commission is to be Revitalized!

All these Business management, Business School training, MBA type training techniques, Philosophies and Psychology would do much harm rather than good tot he kingdom of God.......

The church in the west particularly in Europe is simply struggling with more unnecessary things like Martha than implementing the word of God (Mind of Christ) in day to day christian lives.No human wisdom prosper in the kingdom of God!

Only His word rules!

"I will bow down toward Your holy temple And give thanks to Your name for Your loving kindness and Your truth; For You have magnified Your word according to all Your name"(Psalms 138:2).

"For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace"(James 3:16-18).
