The Seven Heads Of The Beast In Revelation 17, Ranko Stefanovic
The Seven Heads Of The Beast In Revelation 17, Ranko Stefanovic
Faculty Publications
Any interpretation based on headline news or current events for the purpose of date setting and popular excitement is speculative and subjective. Some have done so based on Revelation 17. Such interpretations never result in the strengthening of our faith in prophecy; in actuality, they weaken our confidence in it. When understood properly, the prophecies of Revelation have practical purposes: to teach us how to live today and prepare us for the future. A right understanding of prophecy will also inspire and motivate us to try to reach others with the gospel message.

O Desafio Restante, Bruce Bauer
O Desafio Restante, Bruce Bauer
Faculty Publications
Há tantas coisas boas acontecendo na Igreja Adventista que é fácil falar sobre delas e esquecer a enorme tarefa restante. Por exemplo, frequentemente ouvimos que a Igreja Adventista está presente em 208 dos 232 países do mundo. Ouvimos que a Igreja Adventista é a mais difundida dentre todas as denominações protestantes do mundo. O sistema educacional adventista é o segundo maior do mundo. Algumas pessoas quando ouvem notícias como estas pensam que o trabalho está quase terminado, que Jesus já pode voltar em breve. Mas ainda há muito para ser feito! Ainda há muitas pessoas que nunca ouviram as boas …
Legal Substitution And Experiential Transformation In The Typology Of Leviticus, Part 1, Roy E. Gane
Legal Substitution And Experiential Transformation In The Typology Of Leviticus, Part 1, Roy E. Gane
Faculty Publications
Some Christians emphasize the idea that Christ’s sacrifice accomplished a legal substitution, but they largely overlook the effect of experiential transformation. Others do the opposite, emphasizing a change of experience resulting from Christ’s sacrifice, but downplaying the concept that Christ served as our Substitute. The present research demonstrates that in the typology of the book of Leviticus, which serves as a background to the explanation of Christ’s sacrifice in the book of Hebrews, both legal substitution and experiential transformation are clearly present and fully necessary. In part 1 of this two-part article, we will examine the evidence for legal substitution …

La iglesia debe ser un lugar seguro donde los feligreses son amados y protegidos y es la responsabilidad del ministro velar para que los miembros de su iglesia puedan adorar en paz, en un ambiente seguro donde los derechos morales y civiles de los adoradores son respetados. Este artículo estudia algunos de los asuntos legales más comúnmente asociados con el ministerio, con el fin de informar a los lectores acerca de posibles problemas legales que pueden aflorar en la iglesia local. Sugerencias prácticas y medidas preventivas son sugeridas al final de cada asunto legal discutido, de manera que los dirigentes …

God Did An Awesome Thing: A Church Growth Strategy That Worked, S. Joseph Kidder
God Did An Awesome Thing: A Church Growth Strategy That Worked, S. Joseph Kidder
Faculty Publications
We think that the work of God is going to be finished by what we do, through programs we develop, resources we find, and talents we exhibit. Wrong. These are not the things of eternal significance. What really works is the Spirit of the Lord Almighty. We do not need more formulas, we need more filling. We do not need more plans, we need more power. We do not need more strategies, we need more Spirit.
A Prática Da Caridade E Da Beneficência Social Na Igreja Cristã, Wagner Kuhn
A Prática Da Caridade E Da Beneficência Social Na Igreja Cristã, Wagner Kuhn
Faculty Publications
É fascinante observar a frequência com que Jesus e também os seus apóstolos praticaram tantos atos de compaixão em prol do humilde, do doente, do pobre, do possesso por demônios, da viúva, do órfão e de muitos outros. Suas obras de caridade e benevolência se tornaram a base para outros cristãos que seguiram Seus passos. Neste artigo, tento descrever de forma resumida como o pobre, o doente e outras pessoas desamparadas foram tratados e ajudados durante os períodos da história da Igreja Cristã primitiva e medieval, e em parte no período da Reforma, especialmente no que se refere às obras …

Dealing With Doctrinal Issues In The Church: Part 4, Richard M. Davidson, Paul S. Ratsara

Controversial issues have the potential of splitting the church. To avoid this danger, church leaders need to exercise much care and, at the same time, show firmness when dealing with these issues.

Headship, Gender, And Ordination In The Writings Of Ellen G. White, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Headship, Gender, And Ordination In The Writings Of Ellen G. White, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
The study will focus on the teachings of Ellen White on the role of the Bible in this controversy and the principles for interpreting the Bible to find a solution to the current situation. The paper will also look at her understanding of equality and submission in God’s universal kingdom, and the function of headship in Jesus’ model of leadership and its relation to gender in regard to the qualifications for the biblical office of overseer in the church and their implications in regard to ordination. All of these aspects form an integral part of 16 Ellen White’s theology of …

Ellen Wh Ite, Ordination, And Authority, Jerry Moon
Faculty Publications
The purpose of this paper is to show that the same pattern of authority that gives order to the universe is also reflected in the divinely designed structure for both church and society on earth. In order to uphold the truth as it is in Jesus, the church must structure its delegation of ministerial authority in harmony with the Creator’s original design. .
Ellen White, Women In Ministry And The Ordination Of Women, Denis Fortin
Ellen White, Women In Ministry And The Ordination Of Women, Denis Fortin
Faculty Publications
What I would like to offer in this paper is that a careful consideration of Ellen White’s thought on the role of women in the church, taken in its nineteenth-century context, her understanding of the mission of the Seventh-day Adventist church, her counsels regarding ministry and its many functions taken in historical context, and her non-sacramental understanding of ordination and early Seventh-day Adventist practice of ordination, can support the case for allowing the ordination of women today.

Women's Status And Ordination As Elders Or Bishops In The Early Church, Reformation, And Post-Reformation Eras, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Women's Status And Ordination As Elders Or Bishops In The Early Church, Reformation, And Post-Reformation Eras, P. Gerard Damsteegt
Faculty Publications
This paper will investigate the views of the status of women in the church and whether women were ordained as elders, bishops, or priests in certain periods of the history of the Christian Church. The main focus of this paper will be on the Early Church, the Reformation, and Post-Reformation eras. The sources for the early church are limited to the early church fathers, and for the Reformers to their commentaries on the Bible. Martin Luther and John Calvin have been chosen because of their emphasis on the Bible as the rule for doctrine and practice, which was adopted by …

Toward A Theology Of Beauty, Jo Ann Davidson
Toward A Theology Of Beauty, Jo Ann Davidson
Faculty Publications
The natural world exhibits God’s artistic nature. Though God designed and appointed the great beauty of both the desert sanctuary and the Jerusalem temple, He insists that the exquisite lily from His own hand is still more beautiful than the greatest artistic manifestation from Solomon’s time (Luke 12:27). Thus it is not surprising that both the Old and New Testaments include rejoicing over the beauty of the created world. The poetic Psalter, along with many biblical books, brim with praise for the Creator and His creation. Accordingly, we are instructed that the study of the natural world can aid in …

Dealing With Doctrinal Issues In The Church: Part 3, Richard M. Davidson, Paul S. Ratsara
Faculty Publications
The 1888 Minneapolis Bible conference exemplifies using wrong attitudes to deal with doctrinal controversy. In contrast to the 1888 debacle, the 1848 and the 1855 conferences exemplify right approaches toward dealing with controversial issues in the church. These illustrate the principle that the key toward dealing with controversial subjects in the church is a personal relationship with God.

Interview With Richard Blackaby: Reflections On Spiritual Leadership, Leadership, Stan Patterson
Interview With Richard Blackaby: Reflections On Spiritual Leadership, Leadership, Stan Patterson
Faculty Publications
Dr. Richard Blackaby is the president of Blackaby Ministries International and has written or co-authored with his father 23 books, including Spiritual Leadership: Moving People on to God’s Agenda and Experiencing God. He and his wife, Lisa, make their home in Greenville, South Carolina. There has been so much—some would say too much—written on the subject of leadership during the last decade. Much of this work has influenced leadership behaviors and practices in the context of Christian organizations, but relatively little has emerged from the Christian context that has had the lasting impact of the book Spiritual Leadership: Moving People …

Adventists And Ecumenism, Nicholas P. Miller
Adventists And Ecumenism, Nicholas P. Miller
Faculty Publications
A careful study of Seventh-day Adventist history and teachings will show that there is a positive ecumenism and a problematic ecumenism. The positive is about practical, on-the-ground, issue-oriented fellowship, support, and caring between Christians. The negative is a more formal, ideological search for doctrinal and institutional unity.
