Is your church's direction from Christ our Lord or from what is happening now?
Being filled with Jesus is a requirement for being a Christian, and this must be evident in us. This is what the Fruit of the Spirit is all about: God is working in and through us. It is imperative that the leadership of the church exhibits the life and power of Christ. If not, what are we there for? If it is weak, it's time to step up the personal and corporate prayer, daily Bible reading. We must be aware of our sinful desires and place them at the foot of the Cross. People will not see Jesus at work unless they see that He is at work in the leadership. This sets the tone for the congregation!

Our investigative focus is primarily a critical and scholarly evaluation on the subject. In addition, we seek primarily biblical, true Truth, thus resulting in an investigation of the relative biblical texts and the context from the view of how it was understood in the time and culture from rigorous and sustained exegetical and inductive analysis.

We are a 501 3 c "Christian Think Tank" who conducts research on Church Trends, Biblical Precepts as well as digging into Schaeffer's thoughts on "True Spirituality." We believe these can be powerful tools for a "church force," So you can build and lead a better church for Christ's glory. Our vision is combining the efforts of the "Francis Schaeffer Institute of Church Development" and "Into Thy Word Ministries," to provide you with the findings of our think-tank, research papers, curriculums helps for researches, pastors and churches to apply essential thinking to faith for Christ's glory....
"Preparing for our Pastoral Lives with the Right Mindset, Part II." The key to building and leading a healthy church is to be a good and healthy pastor (and leader)! Yet, so few of us in ministry take this seriously or make this a priority! We tend to chase trends and our personal agendas and not pursue HIM!
The lives of Christians would be a lot easier if we did not teach these truths; and, this is a big reason why most of us Pastors are weak in our faith and why many churches no longer teach Truth, but rather false doctrine, liberal ideas, and/or spend all their time chasing trends.
After over 25 years of researching pastoral trends and many of us being a pastor, we have found (this data is old, stay tuned for our new research coming Summer 2016) that pastors are in a dangerous but needed occupation!
