People often ask me, “How did you gather people into the church plant?” There’s obviously not a single answer to that question. Sometimes, it is not always clear how the gathering has occurred. Honestly, there are many days that I ask myself the same question. The saying of the apostle Paul constantly rings true: “One man plants, another waters, but the Lord gives the increase.” The Lord has brought a variety of people from a variety of ecclesiastical (and non-ecclesiastical) backgrounds, in a variety of ways, to New Covenant. He is the one who is works in their hearts by His Spirit through His word. Still the saying is true, “One plants!” So what are some effective means of being attractional and missional in church planting?

Certainly praying for the Lord to send people is the most foundational thing that must be done in order to gather into the church plant. In addition, getting out into the community to know business owners, employees and locals is necessary. Spending time in places were people meet (i.e. the YMCA, restaurants, community events, etc.) to spread the word about the church plant is extremely important. Encouraging the people who begin to come to the church plant to invite neighbors, friends and co-workers is a key element. Personal and congregational hospitality is also foundational (as is clearly seen from this book). That being said, getting word out about the church plant via internet and local advertisement has been one of the greatest avenues to reach people. In our highly technological age, it is likely that “someone will visit your website before visiting your church.”1 So the questions becomes, “How will people find your website and visit it prior to visiting your church?” SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is vital. This post is not meant to be a guide for how to optimize a website; rather, it is a call for you to help a church plant do so. The following are some FREE and EASY ways for you to help a church plant:

1) Visit the church plant’s Google Place page.

2) Sign in to your Google account (or create a Google account so that you can sign in). Leave a review of the church that says something about the pastor, people, worship, preaching, values or vision of the church. You don’t have to have visited the church to do so. If you know something about the minister, ministry, have listened to sermons and know the vision and doctrinal commitments you can write something honest about the work.

3) Rate the site using the star system.

4) Email a link to the church’s website to people you know who live near the church plant. This will help generate traffic to the site, spread the word about this plant, and encourage those nearby to visit and send visitors there.

5) Post a link to the church’s website on your Facebook page and on Twitter.

I know of one church plant in particular that would be exceedingly appreciative of your help in this way! It would only take you 10 minutes to help a church plant gain some accessibility in their community! You would be sharing in the mission of God if you would be willing to do this simple thing. Its that cheap and that easy!

How Jesus Corrected and Confronted His Opponents and Hypocrites

1. Jesus Corrected and Confronted Publicly: Jesus corrected the false teaching of the Scribes and Pharisees by teaching His disciples to be on constant guard against it. He corrected their misinterpretations by appealing to His own authority. He repeatedly said, ”You have heard it was said…but I say to you…” Jesus would often speak with His disciples, and the crowds around Him, about the dangers of false teachers’ doctrine. It is not, as many suppose, godly not to talk about the problems with false teachers and teaching.

2. Jesus Corrected and Confronted Directly: Jesus directly confronted false teachers in the church with the repetitious, “Woe to you…hypocrites.” When they came to trick Him, Jesus frequently silenced the Chief Priests, Scribes, Pharisees and Sadducees but putting them in their place with Scripture. On one occasion He came right out and said, “You’re wrong, not knowing the Scriptures or the power of God.” Jesus was not afraid to tell people–in the most confrontational way–”You’re wrong.”

3. Jesus Resorted to Metaphorical “Animal” Name Calling: Jesus often exposed the true nature of the wickedness of false teachers by using animal names to metaphorically describe them. He called the Pharisees the “offspring of serpents,” Herod “a fox,” false teachers “wolves,” and unregenerate Gentiles “dogs.”

4. Jesus Corrected and Confronted by Means of Comparison: Jesus rebuked the unbelief of the covenant people by singling out the faith of a Gentile centurion who said to Jesus, “Only speak and word and my servant will be healed” (Matt. 8:5-13). Christ compared the greatness of their unbelief with the greatness of this man’s faith. He then went on to explain the eternal punishment those who did not believe would undergo.

5. Jesus Corrected and Confronted Wrong Motives and Excuses: A self-seeking man boastfully promised to follow Jesus anywhere because he thought it would mean political or financial gain for him. Jesus corrected his wrong motives by telling him that he would be following a homeless Messiah (Matt. 8:18-22). He then corrected another man who used his aging father as an excuse about why he could not follow Jesus at that time, by telling him that he was as spiritual dead as His father would soon be physically. An outstanding treatment of this passage can be found in Sinclair Ferguson’s sermon “The Cost of Discipleship.”

6. Jesus Resorted to a Physical Act of Righteous Anger: Jesus corrected the greed and corruption of the money changers in the Temple by making a whip and physically driving them out. He also threw their tables over. I’m sure that many in the church today would say that Jesus was “emotionally unstable” and “erratic.”

How Jesus Corrected His Beloved Disciples

When we see how Jesus corrected His own disciples (who gave Him plenty of opportunities to do so!) we find that there is a great deal more tenderness and patience. Jesus characterized Himself as being “gentle and lowly in heart.” While this was the characteristic mark of the Savior, it was often accompanied by strong, unexpected and confrontational rebuke of their actions. Consider the following:

1. Jesus Rebuked in Order to Correct Role Relations: Jesus corrected his mother at the wedding in Cana of Galilee by telling her “Woman, what of you and Me?” when she told Him “They have no wine.” He was rebuking he for thinking that she had authority over Him. The meaning of Jesus’ response was essentially, “This concern of yours is My work, not for you and I to take care of together. I am not under your authority in this matter.” (See George Hutcheson’s Exposition on John, p. 32 ff. for a good treatment of this text.) Jesus also confronted James and John when they tried to use Him to get to the top. Jesus responded to their request by saying, “Are you able to drink the cup that I drink and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with.” Basically, Jesus was telling them that He would pave the way to heaven for all His disciples by drinking the bitter cup of the wrath of God at the cross.

2. Jesus Rebuked Unbelief in His Disciples: Jesus corrected His disciples on a boat in a storm by showing off His power and rebuking their unbelief. He told them, “O you of little faith.” He then stilled the wind and the waves with a rebuke (Matt. 8:23-27) . He also rebuked the unbelief of the two on the road to Damascus, as well as the disciples in the house, after His resurrection.

3. Jesus Rebuked By Means of Comparison: Jesus corrected Martha’s anxious heart by pointing to her sitter sitting at His feet and listening to His word. He basically said, “You should be more like your sister.” This might strike some as being a psychologically harmful way to correct people, nevertheless, the Son of God did it! (Luke 10:41-42). Jesus also pointed to a woman putting a few pennies in the offering box to teach His disciples the value of having a generous heart, as over against the rich who putt in a little out of their abundance.

4. Jesus Used Tragic Circumstances to Call People to Repentance: Some people told Jesus that Herod had mingled the blood of some Galileans with animal sacrifices. Instead of telling them how tragic this was–and how sorry He was to hear about it–He reminded them about the tower that had tragically and unexpectedly fallen on 18 people. He then made the most unlikely application, saying, “Unless you repent, you will all likewise perish!” (Luke 13:1-5).

5. Jesus Corrected Bickering Men with a Child: Jesus confronted His disciples when they argued about who was greatest among them by taking a child and setting him in their midst. Correcting grown men with the mere presentation of a child was a seriously humbling rebuke.

6. Jesus Corrected Envy By Saying, “Worry About Yourself”: Jesus corrected Peter’s jealousy of John by telling him, “What if he remains until I come. You follow for Me.” (i.e. ”Don’t worry your pretty little mind about what I’m doing with anyone else. Just worry about your own relationship with Me.”)

1. The Battle is a representative battle. Two individuals represent their people and face off in battle. Whoever wins this battle wins it for those he represents. (This is the only battle of its kind recorded in Scripture, other than the battle between Christ and the devil.)

2. David is the only one able to face the Philistine. Jesus is the only one able to face the evil one.

3. David is sent by his father to his brothers. Jesus is sent by His Father to His brothers.

4. David’s brother’s reject him, mocking him and accusing him of having evil motives. Jesus’ brothers (both biological and national) reject Him, mocking Him and accusing Him of having evil motives.

5. David is meek and God-fearing, in the face of the battle and his brother’s rejection. Jesus is meek and God-fearing in the face of the battle and his brother’s rejection.

6. David does not trust in human strength, rather he trusts in the name of the LORD. Jesus does not trust in human strength, rather he trust in the name of the LORD.

7. David is not first and foremost concerned about men; he is most concerned that God’s glory has been slighted. So it was with Jesus.

8. David goes forth to war with a Shepherd’s staff and a Shepherd’s bag. Jesus goes forth to war as the Good Shepherd (John 10).

9. David defeats his enemy with his own weapon (i.e. Goliath’s sword). Jesus defeats Satan with his own weapon (i.e. the cross). Jonathan Edwards made this point repeatedly. In one place he suggested: “The devil had been the instrument of Christ’s being put to death. He put it into the heart of Judas to [betray Christ], and he stirred up anger and malice in the chief priests and leaders and elders of the people to offer cruelty to him, so that their cruelty and the cross they used as the instrument of his death was, as it were, the devil’s sword he used in battle against Christ;” and in another, “God preserved [David] from [Goliath], and gave him the victory over him, so that he cut off his head with his own sword and made him therein the deliverer of his people, as Christ slew the spiritual Goliath with his own weapon, the cross, and so delivered his people.”

10. David swore that God would give the Philistine’s flesh to the birds of the air and the beast of the field. Edwards again noted, “As David, when he fought with Goliath, said that he would give the carcasses of the hosts of the Philistines unto the fowls of the air, etc., so Christ, the true David, now calls on the fowls of the air to come to devour the carcasses of the enemies of his church.” [see Revelation 11:7–9]

11. David carried Goliath’s head into Jerusalem in triumph. Edwards carried the parallel out when he wrote, “Christ ascended into heaven in triumph, as it were with the head of Satan in his hand, as David, after he had slain Goliath, went up to Jerusalem with the head of this Philistine in his hand.”

First, read every chapter, article or sermon recommended by professors, pastors and theologians that you hold in high esteem. These recommendations will cover a broad spectrum of the theological sciences (which in many respects is more beneficial than limiting your reading to just one category; e.g. systematic theology, church history, biblical theology, historical theology, exegesis etc.). I have found more benefit from tracking down chapters recommended by my seminary professors, or theologians I admire, than from almost anyone else, and; as a result, have been brought into a world of theological wealth. Many times, these have not been required reading for classes, but have been mentioned in passing in a lecture or conversation. Write down the authors name and the title, as soon as it is mentioned, and start to diligently search libraries or the internet to find it.

Second, make the level of your reading to vary. Be reading more difficult and less difficult books. Read books, from devotional to academic, that fall across a spectrum of intellectual difficulty. If you limit yourself to reading one type of literature (e.g. Puritan spirituality, systematic theology, newer theological works, novels, blogs or doctoral dissertations) you will not be as well rounded. I find that most men coming out of seminary only read what is new and trendy (whether it be Christian pop-culture literature, academic theology, sociologically driven works, or what they deem to be relevant). The problem with this approach is that it leaves the reader imbalanced. Newer commentaries, for instance, include much beneficial exegetical work, as well as interaction with current trends, but they generally lack the devotional and pastoral applications that are the fruits of the exegetical labors of older commentators. In other words, don’t read this and this without reading this. The benefit of the later volume is that you can generally find the majority of the recommended books here or here. Men in more historically Reformed circles tend to err in the other direction–choosing to read the devotional and pastoral books while neglecting the benefits of reading newer works. There must be a healthy balance.

Second, don’t neglect the footnotes or endnotes (they will always uncover useful books, articles or chapters). I marvel at how few people read the footnotes. Any worthwhile theological trails will be found in the footnotes! Footnotes are loaded with recommended articles and chapters. When an author relegates a reference to a book, or a chapter in a book, to a footnote it is usually something he or she has benefited from reading On the other hand, sometimes chapters of books that present the opposite opinion or interpretation are put in footnotes. These can also be worth the time and effort it takes to track them down and read them. This will help broaden your understanding of an issue so that you can better defend the truth, or it will help you correct wrong opinions that you have held.

Third, ask friends what they are reading and what they have found most helpful. I have a number of close friends that I speak with on a regular basis. I have purposely surrounded myself with men who are wiser, smarter and more well-read than me. I generally find that the things they read and benefit from inevitably benefit me. Doing “theology in community” is the best way to broaden and sharpen your thinking. There is an exponential value to talking through portions of Scripture, theological subjects and books with friends who are themselves diligently studying. Remember, you are only one person and can only accomplish so much in a day. Doing theology in community broadens your base of knowledge.

Fourth, read those chapters that appear to be most closely related to the subject you are currently studying. As I have been preaching through the Gospel of John, I have gone back and read chapters in books that I knew were pertinent to a related theme. For instance, when I was preparing to preach on John 5:19-30 (a portion of Scripture that records Jesus’ teaching about His perfect union with the Father), I remembered that many years prior I stumbled across the chapter entitled “His Entire Harmony with the Father,” in William Blakie’s Glimpses of the Inner Life of our Lord (a volume that I highly recommend). I took the time to reread this chapter and found that my understanding of the text was deepened by it. This is the chief benefit of reading thematic chapters that are relevant to the portion of Scripture you are working through. If I study or preach through the Gospels, I would consult chapters in this, this, this, this, this and this.

Fifth, read chapters that are relevant to a particular theological issue with which you are wrestling. I recently had a good friend direct me to chapter 4 of this book due to an ongoing debate I was having with several individuals over the issue of the hermenuetical spiral. The question at hand? “Does systematic and biblical theology influence exegesis, or does exegesis influence systematic and biblical theology?” (The answer is, of course, that they mutually inform one another.) I had, somewhat indifferently, already read the book my friend recommended, but the present debate made the particular chapter far more beneficial than it might have been under different circumstances. You will sometimes find that chapters you read in the past have a far greater impact on your thinking when you read them again in light of the current situation in which you find yourself. This is also why we should reread chapters that have strongly influenced our thinking.

Sixth, find compilation volumes and familiarize yourself with the contributors and chapter titles. When I was at Tenth Presbyterian Church, I had the privilege of helping to break down James M. Boice’s library. Dr. Boice had a number of compilation volumes. I found hundreds of beneficial articles and chapters that have been largely forgotten. When a man is asked to contribute to a particular book you know that he has probably put a great deal of time and thought into what he has written for it. Because of the small number of printings, these books generally fall by the wayside. The articles included are, almost without fail, exceptionally valuable. Some examples of more readily available works of this kind can be found here, here, here, here, here, here, and here. Lesser known works will usually be in the form of a festschrift like this, this, and this.

Seventh, find and read doctoral dissertations. I frequently accessed UMI’s dissertation database when I was in Greenville, SC and Philadelphia. I used to download every theological or historical dissertation that looked appealing to me. I would then take the time to familiarize myself with the content. You will probably not have time to read all of a particular dissertation (and this can be a strenuous labor depending on who wrote it), but you will often benefit more from reading a few chapters out of each. Remember, the men and women who have written their dissertations have usually put years of study into the subject. Get every Ph.D. dissertations and Th.M. thesis you can find.

I would be remiss if I did not sound at least one note of warning. Guard your heart and mind from intellectual pride. We sometimes think that we are mentally and spiritually stronger than we really are. The apostle Paul told the Corinthians, “Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.” While we must read things that challenge or oppose the truth of the Gospel and the Reformed faith, we must always be on our guard. Destructive doctrine is first and foremost intellectual. I marvel at how many men I have seen, in my short Christian experience, who have fallen off the bandwagon of sound doctrine because of the academic itch, and dissatisfaction with the old truths of God’s word. There is an all too common danger here. If the apostle Paul included himself, and his fellow apostles, in the warning of Galatians 1:8, then we should never think we are free from this danger. It could happen to any of us. Because of this, you really ought to read this. It is in keeping with this warning that I make one final recommendation. Whatever you read, be fervent in reading your Bible.

God’s People in the Wilderness is also a valuable resource to help make sense of the various themes of the book of Hebrews that sometimes seem disassociated. My understanding of Hebrews 13:7 in the context of the book was expanded by what Robertson says in the chapter, “A New People in the Wilderness–A Unified People.” He writes:

A ‘people of the wilderness’ must remain unified to survive the challenges involved in crossing the desert. If they are to complete their wilderness trek across the desert successfully, they cannot do it as lone individuals. Clearly a community traveling across a desert land cannot afford to be at odds with one another. They must make their progress in harmonious unity.

As a religious community, harmony in the basic relationship with their God must always remain at the forefront. At the same time, unity in a spirit of submission to their God appointed leadership is necessary if they are to make progress in their trek across the desert. These essential elements of unity with their God and their leader can then provide a firm basis for unity among the membership of the community itself.

While this is first and foremost applied to our unity with Christ, the mediator of the New Covenant, as it was to be manifest in Israel’s relationship with Moses, the mediator of the Old Covenant, so also is it to be true of our relationship to ministers of the Gospel who represent Christ in their leadership of His people. The wilderness theme, as an essential structuring element of the book of Hebrews and the entirety of God’s revelation, is tantamount to a proper understanding of the experience of the church in the New Covenant. Palmer Robertson does a masterful job (to say the least!) of pulling the various details and features of the book of Hebrews together with the wilderness theme. We joyfully welcome this volume to the corpus of wonderful works Robertson has produced for the benefit of the people of God in the wilderness.
