Lord, I’m Caught in the Bubble by Chuck Lawless
The Church Answers group with Thom and Sam Rainer has recently released Dr. Lawless’ short e-book, Lord I’m Caught in the Bubble. Dr. Lawless wrote this book to address an issue that faces many church leaders: we get caught in the Christian bubble. In fact, he notes that he felt comfortable writing this book only after the Lord had compelled him to leave the bubble for the sake of the Great Commission.

Lamenting the Personal Pain of Ministry
“Where do you go when your calling collides with the corruption of people who call themselves Christians?” Mark Vroegop, lead pastor of College Park Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, preaches on Psalm 55 about how we must not cease talking to God in our pain of ministry. Lament psalms teach us this. We must keep talking to Him.
Prayer is Power
Prayer is one area of the Christian life where we tend to have more questions than answers, especially when we consider not only praying on our own but praying together as a church. We want to pray, we know we ought to pray, but sometimes we don’t know where to start. When we look to Scripture, we find that prayer is the personal and public plea of God’s people to our Father who hears us. It is one of the means by which God shapes His people both individually and corporately. Corporate prayer is a particular time when the Holy Spirit knits His people together in Him, and to one another.
