A Church Planting Plan For The Northwest District Of The Wesleyan Church, Roger Kenneth Blake May 1985

A Church Planting Plan For The Northwest District Of The Wesleyan Church, Roger Kenneth Blake

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Excerpt: "A beautiful and unusually dry Oregon spring has allowed me to rototill my garden plot very early. With the ground free of weeds and finely pulverized, it was ready to be planted. Since it was still so early, my first decision was to wait. A later date would perhaps protect my garden from a hard killing frost. Then a thought crossed my mind. With this beautiful weather and the moisture that is sure to come, something will grow in my garden. If I do no t plant seeds that will produce a luscious vegetable crop, nature will sprout the …


Philippians: Paul's Handbook On Conflict Management, Mark Kelley Apr 1985

Philippians: Paul's Handbook On Conflict Management, Mark Kelley

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

Much of my life has been devoted to bringing together people and concepts which did not seem to belong together. In my high school days, I delighted in hosting parties to which I intentionally invited students from very different social groups. As a pastor, I have worked hard to bring the various cliques of small churches together in a sense of: unity. As a seminary student, I have striven to combine the highest academic standards with a concern for the relevance of each academic activity to the every-day pastorate.

This thesis is a further step towards developing a minstry of …


A Statistical Analysis And Comparison Of My Pastoral Ministry In The Light Of Church Growth Principles From Acts And Current Literature, James Robert Hall Apr 1985

A Statistical Analysis And Comparison Of My Pastoral Ministry In The Light Of Church Growth Principles From Acts And Current Literature, James Robert Hall

Western Evangelical Seminary Theses

The purpose of this study was to analyze my ministry in four churches in order to discover its strengths and weaknesses. It was believed that an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses evident through my ministry would enable corrective and supplemental measures to be taken.

The reason this study was undertaken was because of the fact that. in some church settings certain ministry methods worked. Then again, in other church settings, the same or similar methods did not seem to work. The questions: "Why did it work there?", and •why did it not work somewhere else?", were the motivating factors …

Receiving Holy Callings, And Being Wholly Responsive, Paul N. Anderson Jan 1985

Receiving Holy Callings, And Being Wholly Responsive, Paul N. Anderson

Faculty Publications - George Fox School of Theology

"What does it mean to receive a holy calling?" That's a good question! Whereas "holy" is an adjective, describing the just and loving character of God, a "calling" is the activity by which we are encountered by God in a way which transforms ourselves and our reasons for being. The image associated with a calling is an invitation to come and join another person in a task and into a personal relationship. Notice how a calling is the opposite of a command or an order. An order sends some­one away with a task to be completed (Keleuo). A calling, however …
