The impact of foreign and online ministries on local churches

Introduction In today's global Christian world, foreign and online ministries are growing and impacting local churches. Drawing from my own experiences with these external ministries, I aim to explore how they influence local churches, the theological implications, and the specific challenges faced by diaspora churches, especially African diaspora, trying to replicate their homeland models in foreign settings. I will discuss the pros and cons from a theological perspective to understand their impact on local church life.

When generals fail their soldiers

”And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.“ Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭11‬-‭12‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ A few years ago, I had the privilege of preaching a message entitled "Don't bury your general alive," emphasizing the importance of supporting and protecting the servants of God.  Today, I'd like to share some thoughts on the reversed event and talk about "When generals fail their soldiers," where I want to address some issues church members can encounter because of the misbehavior of pastors in the church.  The topic of this message might not be popular, but my prayer is that you might know the truth that can set you free These points I want to share are not just theoretical; I have encountered them personally or have served as a counselor to those who have gone through the same issues.

Johannesevangeliet 21:1-14 Därefter uppenbarade sig Jesus än en gång för lärjungarna. Det var vid Tiberias sjö, och det gick till så här: 2 Simon Petrus och Thomas som kallades Tvillingen, Natanael från Kana i Galileen, Sebedeus söner och två andra av hans lärjungar var tillsammans. 3 Simon Petrus sade till dem: "Jag ger mig ut och fiskar." De andra sade: "Vi går också med dig." De gick ut och steg i båten, men den natten fick de ingenting. 4 Tidigt på morgonen stod Jesus på stranden, men lärjungarna visste inte att det var han. 5 Jesus sade till dem: "Mina barn, har ni något att äta?" De svarade: "Nej." 6 Han sade: "Kasta ut nätet på högra sidan om båten, så skall ni få." De kastade ut nätet, och nu orkade de inte längre dra upp det för all fisken. 7 Den lärjunge som Jesus älskade sade då till Petrus: "Det är Herren." När Simon Petrus hörde att det var Herren, tog han på sig ytterplagget, för han var lätt klädd, och kastade s...
