Yet an awareness of the history of God’s church can help us serve the Lord more effectively. First, knowledge of church history brings a sense of perspective. Many of the cultural and doctrinal battles currently being STUDY NOTES L fought are not really that new. We can gain much from studying the past. Second, church history gives an accurate understanding of the complexities and richness of Christianity. As we realize this diversity and the contributions many individuals and groups have made to the church, it produces a tolerance and appreciation of groups with which we may personally disagree. Finally, church history reinforces the Christian conviction that the church will triumph! Jesus’ words, “I will build My church,” take on a richer meaning.

  • A Rationale for an Independent Baptist Church to Clarify Its Mission, Analyze Its Program, Prioritize Its Objectives and Revitalize Its Ministry
    LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY A RATIONALE FOR AN INDEPENDENT BAPTIST CHURCH TO CLARIFY ITS MISSION, ANALYZE ITS PROGRAM, PRIORITIZE ITS OBJECTIVES AND REVITALIZE ITS MINISTRY A Thesis Project Submitted to Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOcrOR OF MINISTRY By Richard T. Carns Lynchburg, Virginia March, 1993 LIBERTY BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY THESIS PROJECT APPROVAL SHEET 11 ABSTRACT A RATIONALE FOR AN INDEPENDENT BAPTIST CHURCH TO CLARIFY ITS MISSION, ANALYZE ITS PROGRAM, PRIORITIZE ITS OBJECTIVES AND REVITALIZE ITS MINISTRY Richard T. Carns Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, 1993 Mentor: Dr. William Matheny Reader: Dr. James Freerksen The purpose of this thesis project is to provide a rationale for the pastor of an independent Baptist church to lead his church into a revitalization program. The author selected the topic for two reasons: (1) Church stagnation/decline has become a spiritual disease of epidemic proportions and (2) The author pastored a church which was experiencing decline and viable strategies needed to be understood, accepted and implemented. The main body presents the reasons a church needs to clarify its mission, analyze its program, prioritize its objectives and revitalize its ministry. The appendices delineate the steps taken in the author's church to pursue the above objectives. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF TABLES .............................................VI INTRODUCTION ..............................................1 Chapter 1.

  • Anabaptism: the Beginning of a New Monasticism
    [A paper given at “Christian Mission in the Public Square”, a conference of the Australian Association for Mission Studies (AAMS) and the Public and Contextual Theology Research Centre of Charles Sturt University, held at the Australian Centre for Christianity and Culture (ACC&C) in Canberra from 2 to 5 October 2008.] Anabaptism: The Beginning of a New Monasticism by Mark S. Hurst Introduction Wolfgang Capito, a Reformer in Strasbourg, wrote a letter to the Burgermeister and Council at Horb in May 1527 warning about the Anabaptist leader Michael Sattler. He was worried that Sattler was bringing about “the beginning of a new monasticism.” (Yoder, 87) Both Anabaptism and “new monasticism” are being explored today as relevant expressions of the Christian faith in our post-Christendom environment. The connections between these two movements will be examined in a conference sponsored by the Anabaptist Association of Australia and New Zealand in January 2009 as they were in a recent conference in Great Britain called “New Habits for a New Era? Exploring New Monasticism,” co-sponsored by the British Anabaptist Network and the Northumbria Community. (See http://www.anabaptistnetwork.com/node/19 for papers from the conference.) The British gathering raised a number of questions for these movements: “We hear many stories of ‘emerging churches’ and ‘fresh expressions of church’, but Christians in many places are also rediscovering older forms of spirituality and discipleship. Some are drawing on the monastic traditions to find resources for a post- Christendom culture. ‘New monasticism’ is the term many are using to describe these attempts to re-work old rhythms, rules of life and liturgical resources in a new era.

  • THE RED LETTERS DVD & Interaction
    THE RED LETTERS DVD & Interaction Guide Featuring Tony Campolo THE RED LETTERS: The Words of Jesus for today’s world The Red Letters is a six-segment DVD series of conversations featuring Tony Campolo as he endeavors, in his unique and compelling style, to draw viewers’ focus to the teachings of Jesus Christ, particularly in regard to social issues. Red Letter Christianity is a global movement of Christians who are taking the actions of Jesus and his words - the "red letters" in some versions of the Bible - seriously. The message in those red letters is radical, to say the least. Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount suggest an ‘upside-down Kingdom’ and challenge our notions of what Christianity is and how we live it out in today’s world. The social issues and values addressed in The Red Letters include taking care of the poor, finding justice for the oppressed, spreading the Gospel and loving one's enemies. Through six thought-provoking video segments with accompanying interaction questions, Campolo challenges complacency, and asserts that these are the issues that Jesus spoke of directly, and therefore these issues should be the priorities of God’s people.

  • Hour of Power #2502 (Tony Campolo).Pages
    Becoming All We Were Meant to Be By Tony Campolo Pastor Bobby welcomes Tony Campolo to The Hour of Power. Tony is Professor Emeritus of Sociology at Eastern University, a former faculty member at the University of Pennsylvania, and the founder and president of the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education. He is the author of more than 35 books. Tony is one of the founders of the Red Letter Christian movement and blogs regularly at his website redletterchristians.org. Today, Tony brings the message, “Becoming All We Were Meant to Be.” Good to be here. At my age, it’s good to be anywhere. And I’m thrilled with the music of the morning. Are we not all thrilled? Having appreciated the singing of Patrick, I want to call your attention to the conductor Marc, Irene, and the pianist and organist Zeljko. They deserve a round of applause. I want to give a very important word of praise to Bobby Schuller and Hannah Schuller, who together have continued the legacy of the Hour of Power. There is a nuance to this ministry that you don’t find in some other ministries. There has been a positive dimension to this ministry tracing back to the days of Robert Schuller, who founded the Hour of Power. An incredible message he had, and continues to have. He was criticized by some because he didn’t do enough condemning. I’ve heard people say he doesn’t come down hard on sinners. I mentioned that to him once, and he said well, I’m not like Jonathan Edwards, who preached sinners in the hands of an angry God.
