Over the past few years we have seen the progression of television picture quality move from black and white to HDTV with 3D.  I want to encourage the church and leadership to move to 3D church.  Let me explain what  I mean by 3D:

• Discipleship Church-Jesus said to go and make disciples of all nations!  Jesus knew that His church would grow through discipleship.  Discipleship is the church multiplying.  Leaders that develop followers add but leaders that develop leaders multiply.
• Doctrinal Church-Sound biblical doctrine is a core value-Biblical principles are taught and given priority.  The word of God is held in the highest regard and scripture and application is practiced and preached!
• Difference making Church-a church that goes beyond convenience and comfort to covenant commitment.  A church that delights in the Lord and determines to be HIS ambassadors and reps in the world!   A salt and light church that is making a difference in the world one life at a time!  A church that is a conscience in its community! A church that God uses to bring conviction of sin and conversion from sin to salvation!

I am so overjoyed to belong to Bethel Church which is striving to be a 3D church so that people can see Jesus clearer and closer than ever.  I encourage every church to commit to becoming a 3D church.
