Chip seems to be quite a prolific teacher. Discipleship appears to be an area where he presents as an expert. Since discipleship isn’t just about learning, but ‘doing’; since the Kingdom of God doesn’t consist of words, but of power... where are his works of power to validate his message? How many sick healed, how many demons cast out, how many miracles, how many churches planted, disciples personally made, things like that... Just curious...
1 Corinthians 12:27-30
27 Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
29 Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles?
30 Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?
I haven't had time to look through his other writings, but in this one at least, Chip is spot on.
Most aren't going to recognize God's son, no matter how much he DOes to heal the sick.
Hello Theoldmarine,
I think we must always start with your great question with ‘our-self’ and then value the gifts given to the body by the Holy Spirit...to one is given the gift of “fill in the blank”....
Chip is a teacher and prayer warrior... with some prophetical gifting I am inclined to think.
He disciples fellow believers from all around the world...keeps it ALWAYS Christ centered..and is accessible by email...or even phone.
...I find him very refreshing..in a world that is ‘for sale’ and full of inflated egos and con man for Jesus… Chip asks for nothing and delivers the power of the Holy Spirit through insight and teaching.
Hope you will be strengthened through the daily’s...
Best to you, your Brother.
FYI, Paul (nor anyone else) never planted one church....”church planting” is one of the largest and most damaging errors in Christendom today......
BTW, was heavily involved in “church planting” starting in the late ‘60’s.....but have repented........
