The Harvest is White.
How can we maximize harvesters?
How can we maximize the training of harvesters?
And how can we maximize the disciplining of those harvested into harvesters?
You have really good programs running at your base.
You work hard in them.
How can we increase your harvesting without increasing your work, your hours, or your effort?
People are the body. Our programs are our food. We need to eat programs into oblivion, such that we cook a new program. From that program that gets consumed will rise the next generation, fed and ready to cook a new program.
A program, a school, a title, a building will not come with us into eternity, but people will.
Allow your programs and buildings to be consumed so that your people may grow.
Another way of looking at this is that the focus is on the harvester and the harvestee, the one doing the harvesting and the one being harvested. Not the tools we use in the harvest.
Our stewardship needs to be balanced.
We are not careless with the things God has given us; they are tools of God’s provision.
Nor are we careless of the people. People are even more an act of God’s provision than any tool.
How can I help you with your tools, to gain better tools, and how can I help you with your people, to upskill them and empower them?
The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry
In an age when prepackaged gospel formulations leave people cold, well-told Bible stories can be used powerfully by God to touch people’s hearts and draw them to himself.
After ministry in both Western and non-Western contexts, church planter Christine Dillon has discovered that Bible storying is far more effective than most other forms of apologetics or evangelistic presentations. In fact, non-Christians actually enjoyed storying and kept coming back for more. Storying provides solid biblical foundations so listeners can understand, apply and respond to the gospel, and then go on to fruitful maturity in God’s service.

Romans 12:14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
Colossians 3:13 bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you.
James 1:19 This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;
Here is an interesting idea for anger.
Ephesians 4:25
25Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. 26 Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, 27 and do not give the devil [s]an opportunity. 28 He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with [t]one who has need. 29 Let no [u]unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification [v]according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. 30 Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, [w]by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven [x]you.
Learn not to sin with anger.
Learn to have only had anger when the sun is still up.
Put away ALL ANGER.
So many other verses give us a way to live and remain on God’s team.
Deuteronomy 23:5 Balaam’s curses to blessings.
Proverbs 14:29:
“Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly”.
Proverbs 16:32:
“Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city”.
Proverbs 19:11:
“Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense”.
Proverbs 15:18:
“A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention”.
Psalm 145:8:
“The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love”.
Ecclesiastes 7:9:
“Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools”.
1 Corinthians 13:4-5:
“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”
It is far harder to convert God’s team into your team if you act slowly. God is never in a rush.
When you are rushed, forced to move or act out of confusion, this can be a sign that someone else is trying to take over God’s team and make it their team.
You do not need to follow.
If you are the one instigating these things, maybe you are in the process of seeking to convert God’s team into your team.
