More on Biblical Networking and Partnerships - Ministry & Business Marketing, Media and Strategy Blog

As a follow-up to my recent posts on biblical ministry networking, I strongly encourage you to read Together for What? -- Pastor Mark Dever's great article on biblically-sound ministry partnerships. I pray that you Christian business owners will consider Dever's words with an additional eye to the sort of corporate cooperation to engage in or avoid.

Check out this excerpt...

"Compromise is bad. Cooperation is good. But how do you tell the difference? What are the primary doctrinal positions for which we need to contend, and what are the secondary doctrinal positions about which we can disagree with charity and love?

I’d like to consider how we can encourage each other to hold the truth with humility by setting out six questions:

  1. Do we follow commands to purify or to unite?
  2. What are some common fights Christians have?
  3. What’s the specific purpose for cooperating?
  4. What must Christians agree upon? (Essentials)
  5. What may Christians disagree about? (Non-essentials)
  6. How can Christians disagree well?"
Later today or tomorrow I'll post on telling your ministry or Christian business story through blogging, including re-purposing content buried in the nether world of your website. This week I'll also offer a primer on using Google Adwords to expand your reach. . .
