Christian Declaration of Dependence

When in the Course of human life, it becomes necessary for a person to dissolve the bonds which have enslaved them to sin, and to stand against the Powers of the earth, and to submit to Laws God, a decent respect for the commands of God requires that we should declare or dependence on God and devote ourselves to the cause of Christ which leads us to salvation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that God created all men and women equally and in His image, that we are empowered by God through our submission and dependence on Him with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Eternal Life, Freedom in Christ and the pursuit of loving others as God has loved us.

Author: Dale O. Smith, Jr. 1988 Based on the American Declaration of Independence.

What are you truly passionate about?

One of the greatest challenges we face as Christians is to take our passion and use it for the ministry of the Kingdom. My Ministry Manual is just about complete and one of the main purposes of the book is to combine your Passions, Spiritual Gifts and Profession to discover new ways of ministering in your church and community.

I have included the list of Passions as I have it so far is below. If you can think of a new passion which people about church or their personal lives please email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it or on

The Lord's Supper

Thursday, 17 September 2009 00:00 |

One of the projects I have been working on for a number of years is a manual of creative worship services for the observance of the Lord's Supper. I have collected many ideas of how to share the Lord's Supper over the last 30 years and am always wanting to add new ideas.

If you have an interesting idea and would like to have your service included in the manual when it is published please submit it using the link to the right or Click- Share Your Ministry.

I will begin to include these on the site and share some all our visitors.

Vision of Ministry

Monday, 11 August 2008 22:13 |

In 2001 I challenged my own church to ask God for a vision of what His mission was for using Television as part of our total church ministry.

Key Points from this exercise are:

This ministry is not made up of just one person's vision but it incorporated the desires and dreams that God has given each person involved in the ministry.
"Dream Big" The good thing about dreams is that they can be as big as you want them to be. I don't ever dream about being ordinary. I am always the hero, the expert, the best, the leader. We are dreaming about what God can do in and through us we need to Dream Big. Big enough for God.
Every Program or ministry our churches undertake is a reflection of Christ's love for his people.
God's vision may not always match our own. Be prepared to find what God is doing and join Him - as Henry Blackaby said in Experiencing God.

Computer Policy

Tuesday, 07 July 2009 14:57 |

Many churches struggle with access to computer networks and Internet Access by volunteers. Some have adopted strict legal documents with the threat of "termination" and others have taken a much lighter position of "Trust", with volunteers. I think the need is for churches to find a balance which encourages ministry and service by volunteers with the need to protect sensitive data and patrol what is looked at on the internet.
