The Poor Deserve The Best

Nigel Ring

I've been so inspired reading Nigel Ring's blog, especially the articles on the series of "The Poor Deserve The Best".

Words like "Pursuing Excellence" and "Good Practice" stand out. What is Good Practice? It's defined as God's Practice. As Kingdom people, we should seek to do all that we do to a high standard.

20 indicators fall into 2 sections with the first one being Church and Leadership. There are 8 indicators for this:

1. Apostolic endorsement: Galations 2:10, Isaiah 61:1 - 3, Ephesians 4: 12 - 16
   
2. Local church eldership oversight:
   
3. Hearing God: John 8:28 - 29
   
4. Vision to be clear
5. Gospel impact: The gospel should be at the heart of all we do - HEART transformation.
   
6. Kingdom extension to be intentional
7. Individuals changed from poverty to active mission
8. Biblical principles to be clearly applied

The articles are excellent - worth the read.
