Kevin Bauder, President of Central Baptist Theological Seminary, shares (PDF) some practical recommendations regarding pastors and their involvement in foreign missions. With foreign missions on the decline—at least in the US, “what can and should a pastor do to foster enthusiasm for missions in his congregation”? Sending teams to foreign countries may not always be worth the cost. There are, however, several things the pastor can do to promote foreign missions, requiring little time and money.
There’s a lot of great stuff here that you’ll want to make use of. I downloaded quite a bit last night and started listening to Bruce Ware’s lecture “Feminist Revisions of the Doctrine of God.” It is facinating to me how both complementarians and egalitarians are charging each other with revising the doctrine of the Trinity—and heretically so—to fit their preconceived view of gender roles.
Aug. 8, 2008, marks the commencement of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. . . . In preparation, the Chinese are scrambling to upgrade Beijing’s appearance, both in billions of investment dollars to revamp the city’s facilities and by cracking down on elements it fears will run counter to the central government’s rigid agenda while the world watches. Among those elements are foreign missionaries.
David Yearick, pastor emeritus at Hampton Park Baptist Church in Greenville, SC and former senior pastor of 39 years, shares the most common ways that pastors burn out.
Are you in love with Jesus? Many of today’s Christian music artists claim to be—as do millions of Christians who sing lyrics like “Let My Words Be Few“:
You are God in heaven.
And here am I on earth.
So I’ll let my words be few.
Jesus, I am so in love with You.
But should Christians be in love with Jesus? In a blog post entitled “Jesus, I’m NOT in Love with You,” Professor John Stackhouse answers absolutely not and considers expressions like these inappropriate and unbiblical.
That’s what an article at Baptist Bulletin is claiming.
One of the major influences paving the road back to Roman Catholicism is the emerging church movement. Proponents say it’s time for Christianity to be reinvented for a new generation. It must become more relevant to a postmodern generation. They say the best way to reinvent Christianity for the present generation is to reintroduce ideas and experiences from the past. Emergent leaders say God’s Word no longer holds the answers to life’s questions. Experience must become the key factor to encounter spiritual reality.
Our goal at PastorBookshelf is to build a resource that pastors and those in the ministry (or training for it!) would find helpful–particularly in regard to books. In pursuit of this goal, we create or compile content in three different veins:
Overviews—Links, in about ten categories, for specific books.
Reviews—Written by members of our Review Program or links to reviews elsewhere.
Excerpts—Brief passages to familiarize with the author’s style, the goal of the book, etc.
It’s our hope that these three tools can help to better equip our readers to make informed decisions in what to read or what to buy.
The hidden content in ancient works could be illuminated by a light source 10 billion times brighter than the Sun. The technique employs Britain’s new facility, the Diamond synchrotron, and could be used on works such as the Dead Sea Scrolls or musical scores by Bach.
