Benjamin Robinson: The 21st Century Reformation
http://benjaminisraelight.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-21st-century-reformation.html
The 21st Century Reformation. See Foxes Book of Martyrs, chapter XII). While nearly 500 years have passed since Luther tacked the 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenburg Cathedral, it is now time for a new reformation! But my contention is that we have not gone far enough in providing the means for equipping the average believer with the weapons that comprise the arsenal of the average pastor. Seminaries and bible colleges are for those who are called to full-time ministry, right? We cannot expect every ...

So in this blog entry I'd like to discuss the relationship between order and disorder, and in the process clearly define what proper authority in the church should look like. Let's begin by charting the difference between order and disorder. The following charts should help you understand what the two look like. Confusion is always coupled with anxiety. Anxiety is a state of worry, nervousness or unease. It manifests as an overwhelming sense of impending trouble; something is about to go wrong! Conflict ...

The Revelation of Desire. Eve, on the other hand did not desire the fruit of the knowledge of the tree of good and evil. All she knew was that God had commanded them not to eat of it, and that was enough for her! She did not naturally desire to disobey God. In fact, she wanted to obey him! In fact, temptation is a form of satanic revelation. Satan is constantly trying to reveal a lie to God's people! The lie is that you want sin! Now you desire God and his Spirit and his kingdom and his righteousness and...

The Key to a Successful 2013: Think Practices, not Products! If I could give you one key to a successful 2013, it would be this: Think practices, not products!

The two primary contributors to this revolution have been advancements in the realms of transportation and communication. Advancements in transportation have given us greater physical access to each other and advancements in communication have given us greater virtual access to each other, and the way in which the tension between these two areas of advancement is resolved will determine the shape of the future of the modern world. Now nationwide calling plans are the standard! The availability of informa...

Benjamin Robinson: April 2012
http://benjaminisraelight.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The Glocal Church II. In my previous entry I discussed the secular dimensions of what I see as the next great revolution of our generation and how it is reshaping our definition of locality. My argument was that technological advancements in the realms of communication and transportation have affectively made the world a smaller place.and since locality is primarily about accessibility, as our accessibility increases our local spheres of influence and relationship also increase! This is the great revolut...

Benjamin Robinson: Living Beyond Your Means
http://benjaminisraelight.blogspot.com/2011/07/living-beyond-your-means.html
Living Beyond Your Means. Yet, without disagreeing with the conventional wisdom, I would like to suggest that there is a sense in which God calls us to live beyond our means. This is what I have been learning in this new season that God has taken us into, and this is what I want to share with you in this post. Ten months later we received notice that the bank had sold our condo at auction for less than 50% of what we paid for it. We were given 30 days to vacate and $2,000 for our trouble. Not bad! So as ...

Benjamin Robinson: My Time in Ethiopia
http://benjaminisraelight.blogspot.com/2011/05/my-time-in-ethiopia.html
My Time in Ethiopia. I am so overwhelmed by what God did over the past several days in Ethiopia. I just wanted to take a few minutes to share some of the highlights. In each of the crusade services there was some local worship and then we proclaimed the word (either Karl Hargestam, the founder and CEO of Joshua Campaign, Per Akvist, the director for Ethiopia, or myself) with power and authority! It was absolutely amazing! I could not preach as I usually do before this crowd! Not to mention the thousands ...

Supernatural inclusion is not religious inclusion: our goal is not to make the religion of Christianity accessible to those who are outside of its boundaries, but to make the supernatural resources of heaven accessible! The goal is not to lead people into Christian practices, but into supernatural experiences. Empowered with the resources of heaven, people will emerge from their encounters with believers with the ability to change their lives and their communities with the power of God! Journey of a Son.
