Did you know you can start tomato plants in the dead of winter–if you build a “hothouse.” The hothouse is not the tomato plant’s final destination, but it’s the environment in which they start. Plants grown in a hothouse are eventually “handed off,” but they get their start in a controlled environment.

What was the goal of what you did at church last week? Was it to develop mature believers—people who live right, are dedicated to the Lord Jesus, and witness? In other words, to grow “established” saints. Jesus said His disciples would be known by three traits...

With this Communiqué we begin moving into some “nuts and bolts” of disciple-making.

We must awaken to the crisis in discipleship. Some call it, “Closing the back door.” Bill Hull wrote, “Discipleship making is not one of the things a church does. It is what a church does.” Counting the number baptized or how many received the Holy Ghost should not satisfy. It cannot . . . it must not. Disciple-making is the program – the only program of the church.

Disciple-making is not an option – it is the end-product of the church. New birth and church attendance are essential processes in the creation of the endproduct, however, a church can have large Sunday attendance, make many converts, and not be developing disciples for Jesus Christ.

Does our vision ever need a revision? We get a bit set and assume our way of seeing things is also God's vantage point. Peter, James, John, and their peers learned that their take on life was not necessarily that of Jesus Christ.

Unrealized potential is a tragic indictment: the legacy of "what might have been." The power of a seed is only realized by being sown. A farmer is helpless to grow grain; God gives the increase, but by investing the kernel into the soil, the farmer is positioning it for natural forces to take over.

Effective athletic teams learn to win on the opposing team's home court. Going into enemy territory and bringing home a victory is one requirement of a champion. Jesus spent much time on Satan's home court. His example teaches us how to be effective outside the walls of the church.

Do we limit ourselves by waiting for someone superb to step to the forefront? Where is the ministry of the normal? Was it normal bread and fish Jesus used to feed a multitude? Was it not a normal colt on which He made triumphant entry into Jerusalem? Were James and John not normal fishermen?

No athletic team has ever won a championship without learning how to win games on the opposing team's court. Few, if any, direct sales teams market their product by waiting on a customer to walk in the door. I've spent some time addressing some practical realities about evangelism on our home court . . . or at church! However, to be effective at home is to miss the point. In evangelism most games are played on someone else's home field.

Several months have been given to writing about certain evangelistic processes that should happen within the structure of the church. It is a weak church that is only comfortable doing evangelistic work within the four walls. Good athletic teams learn to win "on the road." Jesus' mandate is "Go..." There are actions and events at church that either hinder or help the evangelistic process. All this has come under the umbrella principle: "Winning on Your Home Court."
