How Evangelical Pastors Manage the Four Areas of the Greatest Commandment—Heart Liberty University How Evangelical Pastors Manage the Four Areas of the Greatest Commandment—Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind—and Practical Applications for Obedience A Thesis Project Submitted to the Faculty of Liberty University School of Divinity in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Ministry Department of Christian Leadership and Church Ministries by Herbert K. Smith Lynchburg, Virginia January 2020 i Copyright © 2020 by Herbert K. Smith All Rights Reserved ii Liberty University Rawlings School of Divinity Thesis Project Approval Sheet ___________________________________ Dr. Donald Q. Hicks Assistant Professor of Practical Studies ___________________________________ Dr. Terry L. Faulkenbury Asst. Professor of Practical Studies iii THE DOCTOR OF MINISTRY THESIS PROJECT ABSTRACT Herbert K. Smith Liberty University School of Divinity, 2020 Mentor: Dr. Donald Q. Hicks The researcher was called to pastoral ministry at age fifty. Five decades of life outside ministry lends a unique perspective. The trappings of ministry were not unknown to the researcher, but living out a called ministry, combined with the determination and stamina needed for successful execution, was an unforeseen challenge. Senior pastors of evangelical churches lead busy lives personally and professionally. The pace of life in current culture, secular and religious, impede pastors from observing the greatest commandment with full effort (“all”) as Jesus directs every Christian to do. Obedience to the commandment is directed by Jesus as to employ the heart, soul, strength (or might), and mind (Matt 22:36-38, Mark 12:30-31, Luke 10:25-38).1 The whole of human existence is to be utilized in keeping the commandment. Accordingly, the four areas of heart, soul, strength, and mind are to be used as conduits of love toward God. These areas of our being drive us emotionally (heart), spiritually (soul), physically (strength), and intellectually (mind). A research of the health of evangelical pastors in these four areas is being conducted and reported here. Data from scholarly writings, media, experience, and scripture; each researched to render findings, address the problems, and identify practical, proven strategies and applications. An IRB approved long term question/response survey for further research was launched March 1, 2020. Word Count: 250 Key Words: Greatest Commandment, Pastors, Obedience, Heart, Soul, Strength, Mind, Love 1 (Matt 22:36-38, Mark 12:30-31, and Luke 10:25-38), New American Standard Bible (NASB). Unless otherwise noted, all scripture references in this thesis project will be from the New American Standard Bible. iv Acknowledgments This research and findings are dedicated to several individuals and institutions which have encouraged, enlightened, and enriched the life journey shared. Scripture paints believers as heirs of the benefits provided by others. God reminded the Israelites they had received “. a land with large, flourishing cities you did not build, houses filled with all kinds of good things you did not provide, wells you did not dig, and vineyards and olive groves you did not plant— then when you eat and are satisfied, be careful that you do not forget the Lord 6:10b-12a NIV). The following relationships with individuals and institutions influenced the life of the researcher: My wife, best friend, encourager, admonisher, and ministry partner: Katy Baynes Smith. My children, encouragers, and helpers, Mary, Paxton, Kelsy, Brayden, and Gideon. My parents, Herbert and Laverne Smith, and siblings Lynn, Leigh, Patty, and Ted.

  • Fully Identified the Communication Style of the Santali People Group and Have Used to Huge Advantage the Tribal Skills in Dramatic Arts, Music, and Dance
    Lausanne World Pulse, P.O. Box 794, Wheaton, Illinois, USA, 60187 Email: [email protected] A free, monthly online publication that provides you with evangelism and mission news and information. October/November 2009 PUBLISHER’S MEMO Story-telling and the Gospel throughout Our World By Lon Allison I recently read an excerpt from Henri Nouwen in his book the Living Reminder: Service and Praying in Memory of Jesus Christ.1 He says, “The rabbis guide their people with stories; ministers usually guide with ideas and theories. We need to become storytellers again.” I concur. In this issue of Lausanne World Pulse we give attention to what is now termed in mission circles as the “Orality Project.” I thoroughly enjoyed the article by Carla Bowman titled, “The Storytellers of Dulumpur.” It is in fact about Dulumpur, Vietnam, Kenya, Ethiopia, Chad, and Mauritania. Through storytelling primarily utilizing the narratives of scripture, ministers of the gospel are seeing marvelous responses from people in cities and villages around the world. I only wish Carla would have spoken of the value of storytelling preaching in London, Sydney, Chicago, and Vancouver as well. Perhaps that is more the responsibility of someone like me. The masters-level course I teach at Wheaton College on preaching combines instruction on the theology of the gospel, and how to speak it in the West and in the Majority World. I believe story is the best container for the gospel for all listeners, everywhere in the world. But a caution: story proclamation is not easy. It is an art form in itself.
