About Bill Hull
Bill Hull’s passion has been to help the church return to its disciple making roots and he considers himself a discipleship evangelist. This God-given desire has manifested itself in twenty years of pastoral service and the authorship of ten books. His first book, Jesus Christ Disciplemaker, is celebrating 20 years with a new edition. The Disciple Making Pastor and the Disciple Making Church are two successive books which make up his popular disciple making trilogy. These books have provided the church with a new paradigm for disciple making.

Hi Bill!
Do you not mean "unnaturally create"?
Ever wondered why the 'perfect and correct way of salvation' is not specificaly given in the Bible? why did Paul not give us the 'Four spiritual laws'?
Why did we not get given a 'sinners prayer'?
Why is there no record of how the first converts were led into salvation?
Perhaps to prevent us from setting out such a sure fire procedure?
We have created a 'gospel' message that is not good news to those who need some good news! It has come with more rules and regulations than the Old Covenant and it is no wonder that so many are put off by it.
As an unchurched person who looks at the tele evangelists, Mega 'church' money squandering machinery, book stores, bumper stickers, placard weilding "God hates fags" 'Chrstians', how can an unchurched person relate this perverse mesage these people are sending out, to any sort of good news?
This is why I so enjoy what is known as the Emerging church. People who are saying 'lets get away from all the junk we have been fed over the years and let's get back to the original message of good news' - good news for the individual which will then become good news for the family, then the community.
It is why I enjoy the writings of folk like E.W. Bullinger and Bill Gillham - true Christianity with Jesus living His life through us!
Not popcorn and candy floss Purpose Drivel 40 days, Lets guess the date, Faith not presumption, How to make Godly wealth etc etc ad nauseum!
Yet even the emerging is falling into the trap of trying to appease the modern pharisees when asked to define their 'doctrine' - or perhaps 1 Cor. 1 : 26 - 31 is an misprint?
So, yes, what we become here on earth is vital and is a clear indicator of what message we have received - are we becoming more like Jesus or more like a Pharisee?
