Help for small Church pastors to start 2017.
If you have not already done these three things, pray, seek God’s will, and start moving forward. Ask God for direction Scripture is clear that planning and preparation without humility before God are sinful. James 4:13-17 is one such Scripture that gives us this position. Paul reminds us that all work is fruitful only becauseContinue reading “Help for small Church pastors to start 2017.”
Jesus: Son of Man
One of the titles that Jesus applied to Himself is “Son of Man.” It is found in the Old Testament and New Testament. It signifies the humanity that Christ added to deity through the incarnation. The Gospel writer, Luke, emphasizes this title. This association with Christ is not by coincidence with Luke being a doctor andContinue reading “Jesus: Son of Man”
Jesus: The Word
Jesus said the Pharisees, “Before Abraham was, I am” (John 8:58). Scripture makes clear that Jesus existed before creation. Scripture is also clear that Jesus was not a part of creation but the cause of it. John beautifully describes the pre-incarnate nature of Jesus: John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word wasContinue reading “Jesus: The Word”
Jesus: Name Above All Names
Jesus is the central theme of Holy Scriptures. We find the likeness of Him in every book of the Bible. The Old Testament foretells of His first advent. The New Testament testifies of His life incarnate, His continuing work and second coming. Without Christ, we do not have hope. In the days to come, I am writingContinue reading “Jesus: Name Above All Names”

Theology concerning personhood is a doctrine that finds itself rooted in Trinitarian theology and language. These foundational beliefs have been considered the orthodox stance of the church since its conception. Possessing a Christian worldview of personhood will have profound implications for our world today. Our understanding of the Trinity and personhood is seen in theContinue reading “Who are we?”
Worshipping Christ at Christmas
It is possible that in the constant rush of this season that our worship comes directly out of duty and habit. Perhaps we forget the what and why that provides the foundation for our Christmas celebrations. That fundamental basis is the incarnation. It may even be true that we have never actually understood the importanceContinue reading “Worshipping Christ at Christmas”
Hope in the Judgment
Who can stand against the Judgment of God? No one. The nations of Israel and Judah learned this the hard way. The northern kingdom, Israel, had 19 kings who were all fundamentally evil and turned the country farther and farther from God. One of them, King Ahab, was perhaps the worst Israelite King of allContinue reading “Hope in the Judgment”
Protecting ministers from narcissism
C.S. Lewis calls pride the “great sin” and “the essential vice.” Scripture teaches that through the “pride of life” (1 John 2:16) we can be tempted into sin. There are even more passages show a disdain for hubris (excessive pride and self-confidence) and the need for humility. There is a healthy level of narcissism thatContinue reading “Protecting ministers from narcissism”
