    "THE ROLE OF BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS IN PRESERVING UNITY IN THE CHURCH" By Raymond F. COttrell March 12, 1996 THE ROlE OF BIBLICAL HERMENEUTICS IN PRESERVING UNITY IN THE CHURCH Raymond F. Cottrell P A R T I In His intercessory prayer just before entering the garden of Gethsemane Jesus prayed that those who follow Him "may all be one ••. so that the world may believe that you have sent me."l Unity is essential to the cred­ ibility of our witness, as a community of faith, to the everlasting gospel. "Unityn was also the official motif of the recent General Conference Session in Utrecht. The basis for unity is our faithfulness, under the aegis of the Holy Spirit, as individuals and corporately as a church, to what we call the Gol­ den Rule: "In everything do to others as you would have them do to you."2 The golden Rule is particularly important for those in positions of power and authority in the church. The gospel requires them to be examples of this principle in all of their relationships to members of the household of faith, whether co 11 ect i ve 1y or as i nd ivi dua 1 s: "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them~ and their great ones are tyrants over them. It wi 11 not be so among you, 11 Jesus instructed His disci p1 es, "but whosoever wishes to be great among you must be your slave."3 The Golden Rule and this servant-leadership principle require that those who are "great" among us--our elected leaders at all levels of leadership; members of church boards, conference, union, and division committees; and delegates to conference, union, and General Conference sessions--"serve" the church and not think of leadership in terms of authority and control, but of service.3 This is especially true of delegates to a General Conference session, who are entrusted with ultimate doctrinal and policy decisions for the world church.

    November 7, 196 Vol. 145 No. REVIEW AND HERALDeview • GENERAL CHURCH PAPER OF THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS When the day of Pentecos had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled al the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1-4, R.S.V.). The lapse of time has wrought no change in Christ's parting promise to send the Holy Spirit as His representative It is not because of any restriction on the part of God that the riches of His grace do not flow earthward to mer If the fulfillment of the promise is not seen as it might be, it is because the promise is not appreciated as it should be. If all were will- ing, all would be filled with the Spirit.—The Acts of the Apostles, p. 50. About Seventh-day Adventist Missions By MARVIN H. REEDER WO men from Sarawak, Ma- laysia (Borneo), mixed well T with radio and television in- terviewers and program directors from service clubs across the nation. "Instant good will" is what we wanted and "instant good will" is what we received. They mixed well with Sev- enth-day Adventists assembled at camp meetings and in local churches.

  • The North Pacific Union Gleaner for 1971
    GleaeAPRIL 5, 19 71 NORTH PACIFIC UNION CONFERENCE )1(GEORGE E VANDEMAN DOOMSDAY the new Decision Pak see page 2 These days we're adding new words to our dictionaries at a furious pace. In the world of science and technology there's lunar module, computer software and eight-track stereo. The tense international situation has given us such words as brinkmanship and Vietnam ization. Changing social and political conditions give us such terms as Black Panther, Bircher, acid rock and hippie. And on the witnessing front? Here are some up-to-date terms for you: Laymen's Year and Decision Pak. What, pray tell, is a "Decision Pak"? It's a brand-new "pak" of four inexpensive paperbound books, each a jewel in its field. The titles are: / Want To Be Free; The Magnificent Seventh; Look, No Doomsday; and Man, What A God. A. Graham Maxwell, chairman of the Loma Linda University religion department, is the author of / Want To Be Free. He shows how a right relationship to God, with an understanding of and glad compliance with His law, does not enslave a man, but actually makes him free. The author gives us a clear explanation of God's will, as expressed in the Ten Commandments, with a friendly approach which accentuates the positive. Human beings want to be free, and this book shows the way. In The Magnificent Seventh, Kenneth Holland, editor of These Times magazine, gives us a fresh new approach to the seventh-day Sabbath doctrine. The Sabbath, he says, is an oasis in the desert of time.

Memory Text “When they heard these things they became silent; and they glorified God, saying, ‘Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life’” {Acts 18 11:18, NKJV}. Lesson Outline from Adult Sabbath School Study Guide I. Introduction II. Persecutor of Christians III. Saul’s Conversion IV. Saul in Damascus V. The Gospel Goes to the Gentiles VI. Conflict within the Church VII. Further Study Questions for Consideration From Moderator: Kendra Haloviak Paul – the Jew raised in a Diaspora synagogue would have been particularly influenced by: • special privileges in Roman society • syncretistic environment (Hellenistic), maintaining behavioral boundaries “Awareness of being something utterly different and unique, and strict maintenance of its own way of life while living among Gentiles, were, and continued to be, Judaism’s prime characteristics.” • mission activity of Pharisees – “a highly esteemed lay movement” {Günter Bornkamm, Paul, NY: Harper & Row, 1969, pages 9 & 11} 1 Study Collection Prepared June 2011 |© Pine Knoll Publications Read the three accounts of Paul’s conversion in Acts: Acts 9:1‐22, Acts 22:3‐21, Acts 26:12‐18 Why does the author of Acts include Paul’s conversion so many times? How does the conversion account change with each repetition? Which conversion account do you find most helpful? Why? Now read Paul’s own account of his conversion: Galatians 1:11‐24 Do you prefer Luke’s versions or Paul’s? Why? What parts of Paul’s thinking are challenged by his encounter with Christ? Did you have a conversion experience? Did it cause you to re‐think many of your previous assumptions? What if you never had a conversion experience? How do you relate to hearing the conversions of others? E.
