  • BE FILLED with the SPIRIT Ephesians 5:15-21 Would It Be Safe
    BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT Ephesians 5:15-21 Would it be safe to say that most of us prefer full to empty? Take a gas tank for example. It can get a little hairy when you’re running on fumes in the middle of nowhere, praying for an open gas station. Just ask a friend of mine who was following the hearse in a funeral procession when the hearse ran out of gas. It feels a lot better when the tank is full. Or how about your stomach? While most of us know little of true hunger pangs, we all know what an empty stomach feels like—how it gurgles and grumbles and growls—especially during the quiet times of prayer and worship. A full—not stuffed, but full—stomach feels a lot better. And how about a house? After 20 years of having children in the house, an empty house doesn’t feel as warm and cheery as a full house does. You remember the hit television series called Full House? No one ever made a television series called Empty House. Full is better. Emptiness tends to lead to sadness … like Mother Hubbard who cried when her cupboards were bare. Full is almost always better. Why then do so many Christians live an empty Christian life? We don't have to. As we continue our series, Earth, Wind, and Fire—The Elements of Revival, I invite you to open your Bible to Ephesians 5:15-21. In this passage the Apostle Paul writes about a certain filling of our lives that can make all the difference in the world.

  • Master of Arts in Youth/Young Adult Ministry
    Youth and Young Adult Ministry, MA 2012-2013 Program Review Program Review # 1. How does the program contribute to the mission of Andrews University and the Seventh-day Adventist Church? Andrews University Mission Statement: “Andrews University, a distinctive Seventh-day Adventist Christian institution, transforms its students by educating them to seek knowledge and affirm faith in order to change the world.” Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary Mission Statement: “We serve the Seventh-day Adventist Church by preparing effective leaders to proclaim the everlasting gospel and make disciples of all people in anticipation of Christ’s soon return.” Department of Discipleship and Religious Education Mission Statement: “The Discipleship and Religious Education programs prepare men and women to fulfill the teaching and discipling mandates of the Gospel commission as they minister. Our goal is to prepare pastors and teachers for leadership roles in settings where religious, moral, spiritual nurture, and spiritual growth are the primary concerns.” As a department within the seminary, the Department of Discipleship and Religious Education has three programs, A PhD in Religious Education, an MA: Religious Education and the MA in Youth and Young Adult Ministry (MAYYAM). This program review focuses on the MA in Youth and Young Adult Ministry program, although it must be acknowledged that it is difficult to completely separate this program from others in the department because of faculty and other resource sharing. How the Program Contributes to the Mission of Andrews University and the Seventh-day Adventist Church? As pastors, laity and church administrators’ become increasingly aware of the growing body of research regarding current youth retention within the church, the foresight of those who established the MA in Youth and Young Adult ministry will be appreciated.

To my dad, Rolland Stanley Seaman, for all of his encouragement. My sister and brother for letting me make it out of childhood. To Dr. Michael Thompson for the kind words and guidance throughout my undergraduate career. To Dr. Lesley Rimmel and Dr. David D’Andrea were also very supportive voices during that time as well. To Dr. Ronald Petrin who helped me pick this topic. Dr. David Shideler for being a friend I should have listened to more often and his wife Tina, who is always (well, usually) right (but I’m mostly just thankful for the free food). To Dr. Tom and Marsha Karns for supporting my family and for their cabin, having that secluded space was worth more than gold to me.

  • Palmed-Off Sunday Andrew Newsham Extent
    Palmed-Off Sunday Andrew Newsham Extent: 3386 Once a year, the leading representatives of planet Earth's various religions were invited to attend a short personal interview with the Supreme Being. Some called him God, others Allah, Yahweh or even Zeus, but to all of them he was the Boss. It was a time when he laid down the law and allowed each delegate a glimpse of the cosmic master plan in which they were involved. There was only one God, but lots of different brand names and sales territories. Nothing was sold as such but the earth was shaped by their ministrations. Humanity had to be educated somehow. Jesus, the leading representative of Christianity and all Bible-based subdivisions, sat in the waiting room before his meeting with the Supreme Being and was ill at ease. He had been to 2003 such meetings and was utterly depressed by the whole scene. This year it was taking place in Binnion's Horseshoe Casino in Las Vegas. Last year it had been in a series of dark caves in the Hindu Kush. The year before he couldn't remember. The whole set up was the same: a waiting room, a door to the Supreme Being, the other reps mingling about nearby cracking jokes and making small talk. Jesus had no time to talk shop with the others, as one of the big three religions he didn't feel he had much in common with the others anyway. He believed ardently in his own unique path. Sure, the others had similar troubles as he did with stupid followers and such but he thought that was because most of their gospels were obtuse and ridiculous.

    Methodist History 27:1 (October 1988) THE NORTH IN THE SOUTH: THE HOLINESS METHODISM OF JOHN LAKIN BRASHER 1868-1971 J. LAWRENCE BRASHER In the summer of 1897, the Rev. B. F. Haynes, a southern Methodist from Tennessee, attended the holiness camp meeting at Waco, Texas, where an estimated 7,000 people camped in tents and covered wagons. Haynes closed his colorful report of the meeting with this observation: "Very few people have even a remote idea of the magnitude of this holiness movement. In one issue of a single paper in the South, I counted an­ nouncements of twenty-nine camp meetings to be held in the South this summer, and this is only a part of the long and growing list.,,1 In 1900, John Laken Brasher, thirty-two-year-old pastor of a small Methodist Episocopal Church in Birmingham, joined this burgeoning holiness movement, a revival which appeared to some to be "sweeping the South" at the turn of the century.2 Soon exchanging his city parish for traveling evangelism, Brasher four years later preached at Waco Camp Meeting and gave his own account of the keen southern appetite for holiness: "They came up in those old prairie schooners," he said, "and they sat down on the front rows and said, 'Feed us, we're hungry.' And we poured it into them three hours a day, and they said to come back next day-gluttons for more.,,3 As part of this holiness revival, Brasher and his religion are a win­ dow on important aspects of the early southern holiness phenomenon and its relationship to emerging pentecostalism.
