  • Issue #7, Fall 2017
    ISSUE 7 FALL 2 0 1 7 Be ye doers of the Word and not hearers only... James 1:22 Championing a Faith that Works IN THIS ISSUE: “CRUSADE TRAGEDy” - LYNDON OVERHOLT “THE OLD COVENANT” - MENNO KNIGHT “PYRAMIDS IN PERU!” - LUKE MARTIN “MY HEAD COVERING TESTIMONy” - KINUKO FUKAMI “AV INTERVIEW WITH MYRON SHOWALTer” Letter from the Editor “For without me ye can do nothing” (John 15:5) Absolutely nothing of eternal value! Hurricane Irma brushed by our house and took out our electric service for 24 hours. Without “power” the lights wouldn’t light, the computer wouldn’t compute, the telephone wouldn’t tell, the freezer wouldn’t freeze, the fridge wouldn’t fridge, and the AC wouldn’t condition the air. Without a source of power outside of themselves, all these machines were helpless. The same is true if we depend only on ourselves to propel us through life into eternity. We need the power of Jesus within us to make our service fruitful. And so it is with Anabaptist Voice. If it is not powered by God it will come to nothing, absolutely nothing. But, as Gamaliel said in Acts 5:39, “If it is of God, then no man can overthrow it.” We believe God’s power is manifest in the Anabaptist churches of today. We are not reclusive Bible huggers gathered in protected enclaves. Instead, we are holding forth the Word of Life with outstretched hands rather than hugging it to our breasts. In seven issues of AV we have seen stories of Anabaptists in Australia, Canada, Greece, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Iraq, Israel, Mexico, Pakistan, Peru, USA, and Singapore.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Theology Projects & Theses by an authorized administrator of Whitworth University. Human Embodiment and Christian Worship: God’s Revelation Through the Human Body in Scripture, Theology, and Liturgy A thesis presented for the degree of Master of Arts in Theology at Whitworth University Carter Stepper B.S. Moody Bible Institute May, 2009 December 2019 Dr. Karin Heller, Faculty Advisor Dr. Joshua Leim, Reviewer Summary of Salient Points This research will demonstrate that bodily existence is essential to human nature and that Christian worship practices must go hand-in-hand with a sound understanding of human embodiment in order to be faithful to the essence of Christianity. The following thesis demonstrates that the biblical understanding is that humanity was created as a body enlivened by the breath of God and intended to be the sacred sanctuary where God’s presence will dwell. In the incarnation of Jesus Christ, God’s goal to make humanity the sanctuary for his presence is fulfilled. Jesus Christ is the image of God, who redeems and represents all humanity regardless of age, class, race, or gender. All humanity finds their ultimate destiny in union with Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit, by which those who believe are transformed into God’s dwelling place.

    “You in the River & the River in You” Word for Today - Volume 4 Copyright © 2017 by Kathleen Dillard Printed in the United States of America All rights reserved. Published by Hi, During my prayer times for you, I have recorded some thoughts and insights as I sat listening to Jesus before the Throne of Grace. This is Volume 4 – “You in the River & the River in You,” taken as transcriptions from Word of the Week. You can sign up for W.o.W., the prophetic audio devotional here: www.kathleendillard.com/word-of-the-week In His love and mine, Kathleen Dillard www.kathleendillard.com Day 1 You & The Living River Jesus said, “Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them” (John 7:38). Have you ever felt that “river of living water” flowing through your being? Jesus promised us this. It’s the way He designed things to be. I was doing yard work with a long old hose. Even though the water pressure was strong, the minute the hose got crimped, the flow just stopped. Sometimes that’s what happens to you and me. We get too busy; maybe there’s a build up of bitterness; too much walking in the “natural” mind, or just letting things slip that we know need to be fixed, but we’re too busy to fix it. Then – BAM! The flow stops, even though the water is still turned on. Jesus promised “rivers of living water” for you and I, as heirs, sons, daughters, and as friends.
