    Review Four: Sider, Olson, Unruh

    The authors present their work of Churches as the way to help congregations live out their understanding of the gospel and their call to ministry by “reaching your community with the whole gospel for the whole person through whole churches” (59). By helping church leaders develop a vision of how the church should exist as the agent that drives transforming change within society, Churches succeeds as a practical guide for laity and clergy alike. One of the greatest strengths of this work is how the authors present 15 examples of real-life U.S. churches that they studied, all of which adapted holistic approaches and witnessed transformational results within their uniquely diverse communities.…

    Personal Narrative: South Knollwood Baptist Church

    South Knollwood Baptist Church started the third Sunday of May, 1957.

Since its inception, Knollwood has had six pastors counting our current pastor. During the last sixty years, the church has experienced ups and downs.

Some compromising leaders have changed the direction of the church; but by the grace of God, South Knollwood is back to “old-time religion”.…

    1925 Baptist Faith And Message Analysis

    One clear similarity involving both the 1925 Baptist Faith and Message and 1963 Baptist Faith and Message is the preamble. Both architects took great care in wording the preamble content. Herschel Hobbs called the 1963 preamble "as important as any other part." In both the 1925 and 1963 the preamble clearly states the document is not a Southern Baptist creed and both chairmen were adamant about emphasizing that point. Both viewed their respective documents as a guide rather than a conscience authority.…

    Full Gospel Baptist Research Paper

    Abstract Baptism, associated greatly with the Christian religion, did not originate with John the Baptist as many would assume from well-known Bible stories. Jesus ' time, the washing of almost anything was considered as a way of cleansing and purifying to rid of sin or to make clean. Rituals and Practices are very important in Full Gospel Baptist Churches. So many things revolve around these simple but important rituals. Over thousands of years Baptism has been a tradition in the Church and Christian communities all over the world. Most rituals are performed in a church of choice by a priest who has been…

    Summary Of The Philadelphia Synagogue

    The overall theme that Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and the leaders of the Philadelphia Synagogue were using to argue that religious diversity should be accepted is that every man has civil rights that would be impeded by combination of church and state. To expand on this, Thomas Jefferson ecentually explains that each man has the right to choosing his own religion because is protected under civil rights because it is unlawful for one man to hold others accountable for his beliefs. (151) New England had this ideology because they wanted to separate themselves from the ideologies of Church of England. James Madison explains how combining church and state would make them exactly like the Church of England by stating “such a step would only return the nation to the tyrannical rulers”, the exact system they were trying to separate themselves from (152).…

    First Baptist Church History

    You can trace Walnut beginnings back to the First Baptist Church of Louisville, founded in 1815, and the Second Baptist Church of Louisville, founded in 1838. The members of these two early Baptist churches joined together in 1848 to form Walnut Street Baptist Church, located downtown Louisville at the corner of 4th and Walnut Street. In the beginning the congregation had 18 members who met primarily in their homes. In 1902, Walnut Street Baptist Church moved to its current location at the corner of Third & St. Catherine. They started building Walnut Street Baptist Church in 1900. By this time it was considered by some to be the largest church in the South.…

    Rethink Vocation In The Awakening

    The laity's primary vocation is the call to holiness. This universal vocation is to be lived out in union with the whole Church. Therefore, as the laity are becoming more prepared today than ever before for the work of evangelization, it is important that there be great collaboration and unity between the ordained ministers, the consecrated ministers and the lay ministers of the Church. Prayer, maturity, and spiritual zeal for the salvation of souls are required to put aside any differences of opinions or personalities that can surface when various people are seeking the will of God through their…

    John Wesley's Fourth Sermon On The Sermon Of The Mount.

    This mission reminds us that for the Kingdom of God to continue to break in, individual lives need to be changed, while being motivated and equipped for transformation. Our Book of Discipline offers this cue: “God has used our church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world.” When we change lives and introduce people to the all-loving nature of God, we indeed transform the world. When making disciples, the Church welcomes people into community, educates them on God’s call for Christians, and equips them toward using their spiritual gifts to serve as change agents playing a role in bringing about the Kingdom of…

    Religious Service Review Paper

    As I was born and raised in a Buddhist family, I have always followed and practiced the doctrines and beliefs of Buddhism. Buddhism has become one of the most dominant parts in my life which guides me to a fulfilled spiritual life and proper attitudes towards other beings. Nevertheless, throughout the course about world religions that I am taking, I have decided to experience some festivals and rituals in other religions as the way to get exposed to the cultural diversity of the world. Hence, for my religious service review, I have chosen to study Christianity - one of the most influential and widespread religions. Since I have a friend who is working as social volunteer in Holy Family Catholic Church (1957 Coolidge Street, San Diego, CA 92111), I decided to obtain my realistic approach to Christianity by going to a regular Sunday mass and joining in some youth activities on 11/22/09 to have a deeper and objective comprehension of Christianity.…

    History And Future Of The Black Church

    The Black Church is an adapting institution and a source of courage and vitality for resisting dehumanizing conditions. It was the primary and only institution black people had to deepen and to strength their spiritual life and to nurture and to practice Christian ethical value, to reconcile and liberate themselves. The days of coming to church for personal salvation alone are over. Now we are looking not only for personal salvation but for social salvation. If we do not change, the community will not change.…

    The Story of Worship

    The Story of Worship

    We were created for worship. From the moment God breathed life into man, he was meant to worship God. We are each born with the innate desire to worship. If we are not worshiping God, we are worshiping something else. God desires our worship for Himself. This desire is plain to see from Genesis to Revelation in the Bible. In the Garden of Eden, God showed His desire for a relationship with man. Even after man’s fall into sin and death, God continued to demonstrate His desire to dwell with man through stories of the patriarchs. He gave us lessons in worship through three kings: Saul, David and Solomon. In Psalms and Proverbs, God provided us with songs and wisdom to teach us how to build a relationship with Him. Idolatry has been a problem with men since the beginning of time. The prophets spoke directly to that problem in ways we can use even today. After four hundred years of silence from God, He sent His only Son into the world. Jesus Christ, the introducer of the New Covenant as the fulfillment of worship. He was and is our ultimate example of worship, and His lessons are recorded in Scripture. God provided examples of every day…

    Lutheranism And Religion

    Theology doesn’t change, but social context does. We deal with social issues every day; thus, we should embrace change. There are two highlights of changed which are ethnic diversity and religious climate. In fact, Lutherans are mostly white, but diversity has played a role in the Lutheran society as they embraced the study of Lutheranism outside of their native religion. For instance, people in Africa and other parts of the world are Lutherans. In addition, one-third of outsiders are Lutherans. So does Lutheranism still matter after 500 years? According to Dr. Andrew, he argues “Yes, it still does matter being Lutheran! We have a faithful contribution to the mission of God in Christ.” We linked the past to the future and we are back to basics with a steady and sturdy way of being a Lutheran. Moreover, Lutheran theology is vibrant and needed today than before. It does still matter being Lutheran. First, we have the distinctive and needed niche and role tertium quid. The confidence in God does not lie within ourselves. However, how are we distinctive? (1) We get the Gospel. (2) We get the Law; (3) creedal and confessional; (4) we know what it means to be human creatures. We are made in God’s image unlike other creatures; lastly, (5) tensions and balance of “paradox theology.” We are well equipped to handle socio-cultural and we have a faithful…
