Aesthetics Versus Ethics: Is There Good And Evil In Music?, Lilianne Doukhan Nov 2009

Aesthetics Versus Ethics: Is There Good And Evil In Music?, Lilianne Doukhan

Faculty Publications

A balanced and informed approach to the topic must take into account the dynamic character of the musical experience. Musical meaning cannot be attached to isolated elements of the musical language, such as an instrument, a chord, a melody, or a rhythmic pattern. Those elements are neutral in themselves. However, music does affect us strongly when it acquires meaning within an event, an experience. When melodies, chords, rhythms, and harmonies are combined together, they are given a specific meaning within a particular cultural setting and are, then, interpreted as happy or sad, elevating or debasing.

The Interpretation Of Prophecy And The Advent Movement, P. Gerard Damsteegt

Faculty Publications

Throughout the centuries, prophecy and its interpretation have fascinated people. What the future will bring and how it will affect our lives is something that all of us would like to know since the way we understand a particular prophecy has a far-reaching influence on our lifestyle and day-to-day decisions.During the Christian era, especially in the Early Church and from the Reformation until the 19th century, the study of prophecy played an important role. It was interest in prophecy during the early part of the 19th centurythat led to the rise of the Great Second Advent movement.

Transformational Youth Ministry, Allen Walshe Jan 2009

Transformational Youth Ministry, Allen Walshe

Faculty Publications

This paper will point out how deeply ingrained post-modern thinking has become in Western culture. It will remind us that our youth and young adults, who are post-modern, are not the enemy (as some would categorize them), but that they are ‘the beloved of God.’ We have been called and commissioned to reach them by the grace of God. This paper will argue that the church’s response to our post-modern youth, if it is to be efficacious, will require a paradigm shift, from its predominantly information style toward a more relational model of ministry. This can be facilitated by restructuring …

Church Of Refuge: A Support Ministry For Youth And Young Adults, Ron Whitehead, Jeff Boyd

Faculty Publications

At least 40 to 50 percent of youth and young adults leave the Seventh-day Adventist Church. To reverse this trend by helping local congregations meet the spiritual, social, and community impact needs of youth and young adults, the Center for Youth Evangelism proposes to launch Church of Refuge (COR). This organization will support churches in incorporating nine principles in their master planning. After demonstrating the inclusion of these principles, local congregations will be certified as Churches of Refuge and will be promoted to youth and young adults through web and print materials.

Three Reasons To Serve, Gary Hopkins, Duane C. Mcbride, Stuart Tyner, Jonathan Duffy Jan 2009

Three Reasons To Serve, Gary Hopkins, Duane C. Mcbride, Stuart Tyner, Jonathan Duffy

Faculty Publications

Young people in the Seventh-day Adventist Church are in need of leadership creating effective strategies for protecting the youngsters from engaging in high risk behaviors along with finding effective methods of keeping these same youngsters churched. It is clear that God had answers to these problems long ago. A review of Matthew 25 clearly states that our purpose as Christians should be to serve individuals in need. When young people engage in service, they are more likely to be attracted to the church, get involved in the church, and stay in the church. Furthermore, service is associated with better grades …
