In With the New

2024-04-04T13:31:49-06:00

by Kurt Lang “Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.”[1] If you are a reader like me, you might be wondering, “Well? Why weren’t they written? I want to know more of the story!” For whatever reason, God decided that what we have is enough. He must be reminding us that quality is better than quantity. So what do we have in the pages of the New Testament? The Rest of the Story The 39 books of the [...]

Stewardship, Accountability and Administration

2024-02-22T15:11:38-07:00

by Loren Gjesdal Few words inspire yawns faster than “administration.” Immediately, images of forms to be filled out and bureaucratic hurdles to be leaped come to mind. Yet we all agree with the Biblical principles of good stewardship and accountability. So, let’s consider for a moment how Church Administration helps us be good, accountable stewards. First, a definition. A steward is someone who has been entrusted to oversee another’s resources. Good stewardship then is the productive use of those resources in accomplishing the owner’s objectives. Two parables Jesus told will help us think about our role as stewards in His present [...]

A Parable

2024-02-13T13:34:10-07:00

What follows is a parable, beautifully crafted, by popular author, Gordon MacDonald. Since any attempt at adaptation or commentary would only detract from MacDonald’s masterful style and the calibre of this piece, I am sharing it unabridged, with permission from the publisher. Read it and be inspired. —Whaid Rose, the Artios Center for Vibrant Leadership   “Once, a foolish man built a boat. His intention was that it would be the grandest, the most talked-about boat that ever sailed from the harbor of the boat club of which he was a member. Thus, he determined to spare no expense or effort. [...]

Christian Theology: Is It for Me?

2024-02-08T16:30:39-07:00

by Loren Gjesdal 3 quick questions and a controversy for you, the reader of this article, to consider: Is theology a science or a relationship? Yes! Is theology important to the Church? Yes! Is Christian theology important for you, the reader, to study? Yes! A definition and a controversy between two titans of modern Christian theology might help us understand the “yes” answers to each of the above questions. Thomas Aquinas captured the heart of theology well when he wrote: “Theology is taught by God, teaches of God, and leads to God.” Regarding the importance of theology, A.W. Tozer wrote, “What [...]

Who Controls Your Butter? Reflections on Spiritual Accountability

2024-01-19T11:21:58-07:00

by Whaid Rose While attending a dinner, the newly elected Senator Bill Bradley asked the waiter for an extra pat of butter. The waiter replied, “Sorry, one pat per person.” The emcee overheard and demanded, “Do you know who this is? This is Bill Bradley! All-American from Princeton! All-Pro with the Knicks! US senator! Potential president!” To this the waiter responded, “Do you know who I am?” The emcee replied, “I guess I don’t. Tell me.” The waiter calmly asserted, “I’m the guy who controls the butter.” I owe full credit to the late Howard E. Butt, Jr. of Laity Lodge, [...]

Why History Matters in Leadership

2023-12-29T10:56:27-07:00

by Santiago Chavez Introduction One of the courses that most surprised me in seminary was cultural theology. The first two verses of Romans 12 erupted into my thoughts when I was informed it was a required course. Now, I am sincerely glad I took it. The course dealt with how changes in technology change aspects of culture which in turn affect our understanding of scripture and consequently our application of theology. A simple example is the advance of the automobile. Before the availability of cars, our experience of the world was limited to where we could walk, rarely beyond. Churches were [...]

Reaching Our Redemptive Potential: An important lesson from the life of Moses

2023-12-22T08:19:46-07:00

by Whaid Rose I wasn’t prepared for this statement: “Moses was an amazing leader who never reached his redemptive potential.” I was half asleep, listening to religious TV, when this comment jolted me fully awake. No way, I thought. Put that on some other Bible character, not Moses. I immediately thought of all the virtues ascribed to Moses in Scripture: the man who “knew God face to face” (Exodus 33:11), and “the meekest man who ever lived” (Numbers 12:3), etc. Outside of Scripture, there is broad consensus that, among mere men, Moses is the greatest spiritual leader who ever lived! So, [...]
