Some of the leaders that were running Kings Center Sheffield part of Network Church Sheffield where it all started have now left and are moving to the USA no doubt to work in a 3DM capacity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18950992.post-75241813224691821432017-06-05T04:17:24.066-04:002017-06-05T04:17:24.066-04:00Check out the other mike breen schooley files blog...Check out the other mike breen schooley files blog and there is plenty of evidenceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18950992.post-76640856834080519782017-02-06T16:52:31.534-05:002017-02-06T16:52:31.534-05:00Can you provide any web references to substantiare...Can you provide any web references to substantiare the damage 3DM can cause in a UK or Ireland context.

I do believe that 3DM is really Shepherding 2.0 (one among many contemporary forms of it). Your comment that "3dm is novel, so faced with no meaningful alternative many have signed up and joined in" is spot on. The general response I get to any objection regarding any particular program is "Well, we have to do <i>something!</i>" And there is the actual problem in a nutshell--the insistence that <i>we</i> have to do something. It's focused on us and our efforts.<br /><br />Yes, we have to do something. We have to stay true to the gospel, to the wonderful message that Jesus came and did what we could not do, that we have been given what we could not have earned, that growing in Christ means becoming more and more deeply dependent upon him, and more and more grateful for his work in our lives.<br /><br />But the New Testament tells us that obstacles such as false teaching have been around since the beginning, and God has gotten his work done. Yes, people are hurt, and that is tragic, but we must trust that God's work will endure while all human programs crumble into dust.Keith Edwin Schooleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328169815024415532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18950992.post-79019738553392185522016-12-23T09:38:34.857-05:002016-12-23T09:38:34.857-05:00Thank you, too, from the UK, where just in our pro...Thank you, too, from the UK, where just in our provincial town we have seen 1 - in local Church terms - large and successful congregation split and another where good, often elderly Christians, who have given their lives to serve Christ and His Church, have left dismayed by the exclusion 3dm brings. The "Shepherding" movement wreaked so much damage. This latest has all the hallmarks ~ a distinct and imposed language, forms, structures, and etc ~ that control rather than liberate; it is very much the same. That 3dm is novel, so faced with no meaningful alternative many have signed up and joined in. <br />Among many puzzles for us, is the silence in 3dm material about the "Gospel with Power." <br />Can anyone point us to references to "Signs Following"? There is nothing we can see that acknowledges Jesus' revelation of the Good News, or (eg) the dynamic breaking out of Holy Spirit revival throughout Church history.<br />Wesley instituted local groups and a "method", to support the 00's and 000's who needed ongoing teaching and discipleship. The model followed the revival; it didn't create it!<br />The 3dm "gospel" isn't Good News at all; it owes its allegiance to management speak and man-made methods, devoid of Holy Spirit anointing and power.<br />Like so many man-made programmes over the years, it will reach its zenith, then fade away.<br />The tragedy is that 3dm proponents don't/won't listen.<br />They have swallowed the system hook, line and sinker ......... and left so many GOOD faithful people in their wake. <br />Lord have mercy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18950992.post-39800291491674791252015-07-18T18:42:03.111-04:002015-07-18T18:42:03.111-04:00Since my first post I have hoped and prayed for an...Since my first post I have hoped and prayed for an increase in online dissent and warning regarding TOM/3dm. Thank you Keith for the important role you have played toward that end. May the Lord use all these postings, and those that undoubtedly will be written in the future, to influence more churches away from their own destruction.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12707438355631600731noreply@blogger.com
