Worship Preferences And Practices To Reach Second And Third Generation Latinos, Andres Flores
180 Symposium Publications
Second and third generation Latinos are the fastest growing population among the largest minority in the United States. Worship and music are a crucial part of their religious experience and spiritual growth. They favor energetic, public worship that is biblically based and passionately led. However, there is a gap between their preferences and perceptions and those of the first generation Latinos who typically lead Hispanic churches. This gap must be bridged for U.S-born Latinos to thrive and develop as disciples of Christ.

The Crisis Of Reality, Paul Dysinger

In our modern world we are faced with virtual realities on every side. In the realm of faith, young people are offered a virtual Christianity. What makes God real rather than virtual? What is reality? The Word of God expresses and defines what is reality for Christians. It defines a real gospel of power, calling the sinner to repentance, confession, and a turning away from sin. It then offers a real relationship with a real God, transforming our sinful hearts through His character of love.

God Has No Grandchildren, Steve Case

Biological births create second and third generations. A spiritual birth creates a child of God regardless of that person’s age or relationship to other biological generations. That’s why God has no grandchildren; only children. The second birth may lack obvious, tangible markers. Those who grow up with religious parents might not be able to name a date or place for their own spiritual re-birth. New environments seem more conducive for new-birth experiences. We need additional markers. Complications, misunderstanding, and power plays may arise when the first, second and third generations flatten into one generation called “Children of God.”

Some Thoughts On God And Culture: Divine Worldview, Torah As A Philosophy Of Life, And The Possibility Of Transforming Culture, Tiago Arrais
180 Symposium Publications
While many seek to make God and Church relevant to a multiplicity of current cultures, the God of Scripture presents a Divine worldview that can function as a timeless philosophy. This enables one to evaluate secular cultures as evil. In Old Testament times, God’s people repeatedly opted for the cultures around them in place of the worldview God offered. In New Testament times, the same Divine worldview is available to the Church. Christian leaders and parents must actively teach the Divine worldview or else the 2nd and 3rd generations will assimilate the evil cultures of their environment.

A Future Horizon For A Prophetic Tradition: A Missional, Hermeneuical, And Pastoral Leadership Approach To Education And Black Church Civic Engagement, David L. Everett
Doctor of Philosophy Theses
This mixed-methods study performed among six congregations explored how the historical framework, fabric, and focus of the Black Church have changed throughout a modern/postmodern context. An exploratory approach was used to study congregations identified by a 10-person pastoral focus group using methods of interviews and questionnaires. This researcher hypothesized that the social gospel dimensions and prophetic radicalism of the historic Black Church have diminished, but that it might reestablish itself as a pillar in the community through a retrieval of its prophetic voice and social gospel roots which caused it to be missional-minded and civically-engaged. It is anticipated that this …

Alive In The Spirit: A Practical, Biblical Insight Into The Person And The Work Of The Holy Spirit, Gene L. Jeffries
Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary (1973-2015)
The world is a stage. Yet the principal players are not men and women... The three principal players are the members of the Trinity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Alive in the Spirit answers questions that many Christians struggle with, including "who is the Holy Spirit, and what does He do?" Gene Jeffries illuminates the role of the Holy Spirit in the Christian life and encourages readers to understand His influence in their lives. Jeffries also explores the role of the Holy Spirit in biblical topics such as speaking in tongues, gifts of the …
