KNIGHT: ITS CONTEXT AND IMPLICATIONS Name of researcher: Jamie Kiley Name and degree of faculty adviser: Denis Fortin, Ph.D. Date completed: December 2009 George R. Knight attempts to chart a middle course between various historical extremes on the doctrine of sin. His view of the Fall and of the consequent effects on human nature is not as pessimistic as that of theologians in the Augustinian tradition (including Martin Luther and John Calvin), who stress the complete corruption of human nature and the loss of free will.

  • Youth Sabbath School Leader
    Youth Sabbath School Leader A ministry description for local church leaders Introduction God asks the church to be a community of people sharing a common purpose and fellowship, continually growing in faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God. Paul describes the church as Christ’s “body” (Eph. 1:22). God calls us into His body for the purpose of establishing a saving relationship with Him and community with one another. The Holy Spirit convicts our minds, leads us to repentance, and plants us within the church. You experience the presence of Jesus Christ in the world within your church; the world experiences the living presence of Jesus Christ as it witnesses your church. When a local church serves the world it is an expression of the love of Christ to the world. Thus, the church is a servant body. Created for service, it serves the Lord in praise, serves one another in love, and serves the world in humility. “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them” (Eph. 2:10). God calls every member of the church into ministry. The church is “a kingdom of priests” (I Peter 2:9). Our priesthood is to each other within the church and to the world. A youth leader, like any other church officer, is a ministering servant of God. As a youth ministry leader it is important that you see teens as an important part of the present church, not just the church to come.

  • The International Sabbath School Teachers' Association
    The International Sabbath School Teachers’ Association INTRODUCTION TO SABBATH SCHOOL TEACHER TRAINING For Sabbath School and Personal Ministries Department Directors International Sabbath School Teachers’ Association Description, Rationale, and Organization Introduction Why is there need for a systematic way to train Sabbath School teachers? Perhaps the students sitting in Sabbath School classes can answer that question better than anyone else! Consider this: When someone becomes ill and needs an operation, how do they choose the person who will perform the operation? Do they go to the local auto mechanic and ask him to operate because he has a lot of tools on hand? Would they stop the first person they meet on the street and ask him or her to perform the operation? Of course not! A person needing an operation chooses a trained and licensed physician. Such people are termed “professionals” in their particular area of expertise because they have adequate training and know what they are doing. The same principle applies to acquiring biblical knowledge and helping people heal their souls. When they want knowledge about the Bible or spiritual help, to whom do they go? They go to someone who is a “professional” in the sense that they know what they are talking about, and know how to adequately help heal souls. An adult Sabbath School teacher training system will help teachers learn, in a systematic way, how to be competent and skilled at what they do. A Sabbath School teacher training system accomplishes three things: ●It teaches how to impart sound biblical knowledge. ●It teaches how to help students apply that knowledge to everyday life.

  • Toward a Biblical Theology of God's Judgment
    Journal of the Adventist Theological Society, 15/1 (Spring 2004): 138–165. Article copyright © 2004 by Jir¥ií Moskala. Toward a Biblical Theology of God’s Judgment: A Celebration of the Cross in Seven Phases of Divine Universal Judgment (An Overview of a Theocentric- Christocentric Approach) Jir¥ˆí Moskala Andrews University The Scriptural teaching about judgment lies at the center of GodÕs revela- tion. It is a crux of the biblical message, giving a profound paradigm for our thinking. Next to the fundamental proclamation that God is the Creator (Gen 1Ð2), the Lord is presented as the Judge: In the Garden of Eden there is the first reference to the trial judgment (Gen 3:8Ð24),1 where the grace and justice of God are intermingled.2 The biblical Flood narrative is an account about judg- ment (Gen 6Ð9).3 Abraham called God Òthe Judge of all the earthÓ (Gen 18:25). Two biblical books carry the concept of judgment in their titles: the book of Judges and the book of Daniel.4 1Claus Westermann, Genesis 1Ð11: A Commentary (Minneapolis: Augsburg, 1984), 254: ÒThe purpose of the trial scene is to make clear to the man and the woman what they have done.Ó 2Grace was demonstrated because the first couple did not die in the day when they ate from the forbidden fruit, as promised by God (Gen 2:16Ð17; 3:9), and the proto-Gospel with the promise of the seed and victory over the serpent was given (Gen 3:15).
