Grace And Truth: A Divorce Theology For Missionary Organizations, Pennie Lynn Kemp Jun 2002

Grace And Truth: A Divorce Theology For Missionary Organizations, Pennie Lynn Kemp

Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects

Throughout church history, divorce has been a very sensitive subject, and with the divorce rate of the general population at almost fifty-percent, some controversy is inevitable. The issue becomes even more complex as more Christians, including church leaders and pastors, experience divorce. In light of this increase in the incidence of divorce, missionary organizations will inevitably encounter more divorced men and women who apply for service. The challenge for these agencies is to encompass a biblically based divorce theology that recognizes the seriousness of divorce on one hand while not appearing to submit to cultural influence on the other.

A Study Of Divine Spirituality, Simplicity, And Immutability In Petrus Van Mastricht's Doctrine Of God, Adriaan Cornelis Neele May 2002

A Study Of Divine Spirituality, Simplicity, And Immutability In Petrus Van Mastricht's Doctrine Of God, Adriaan Cornelis Neele

CTS Master of Theology (ThM) Theses

The problem stated is two fold: Post Reformation studies, and in particular those on the Nadere Reformatie have been deficient in appraising Petrus van Mastricht (1630- 1706) and his work, and the study of the divine attributes in context of the Dutch seventeenth century has been limited in general and restricted mainly to doctrinal reflections. Therefore, this thesis offers an introduction to the life and work of Petrus van Mastricht, and a descriptive analytical study of divine spirituality, simplicity, and immutability as found in the Theoreticopractica Theologia or Beschouwende en Praktikale Godgeleerdheit. The study of these attributes will be …

The Value Of A Team, Chuck Olson Apr 2002

The Value Of A Team, Chuck Olson

Journal of the American Society for Church Growth

Team ministry is one of the new trends in church ministry. Of course, team ministry is not all that new. Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt with a team, Jesus trained a team of leaders to start the church, and Paul planted churches through a team. Working with teams, however, does present us with new challenges in today’s complex world. As an experienced executive pastor responsible to lead staff teams in larger churches, Chuck Olson presents some new ideas on how to build team unity and spirit in his article “The Values of a Team.”
