The Apostolic Church: An Update and a Request

This is both an update and a request I am planning to begin a series of posts on the Apostolic Church and as of yet I have not narrowed down/exhausted the possible subjects which these posts should cover (i.e. worship, discipleship, evangelism, apologetics, etc.).  I would appreciate comments informing me which topics you feel to be the most pertinent to this series.  Feel free to list as many topics as you can think of, the more exhaustive the list the better.  As you comment, I will add your topics to the list below and will begin researching and writing on these various subjects.

In addition, I will be adding an Exegetical Digest on Galatians 5:16-26 to the Resources page, so if you enjoy Greek be sure and check that out.  Once I begin this series on the Apostolic Church I hope to begin posting with a greater frequency, as well as adding more resources to this site, the first of which will be numerous articles dealing with apologetics and several book reviews.  Until then I look forward to your comments on this post.

Topics to be covered:

  • Apologetics
  • Baptism
  • Bible Study
  • Discipleship and Evangelism
  • Church Membership
  • Fellowship and Community
  • Leadership
  • Preaching
  • The Gospel
  • Worship

When the Fertility Clinic Meets the Abortion Clinic: A Modern Paradox

The LA Times featured an Op-Ed article entitled The abortion debate brought home and the tagline: “He and his wife have always been pro-choice; recently, they were forced to make the Choice.” The article details the experiences of a husband and wife who, unable to have children, having underwent two previous unsuccessful in-vitro fertilizations underwent a third. The issue was not; however, with the procedure but its results, namely more children than they wanted.

A Brief Respite from Finals Week

This is the last week of class at TMS and next week is finals week so I do not have time to post much. However, I thought I would pass along an interesting post from the Logos Bible Software Blog entitled Smokers Drive Up Costs of Bibles the article is both interesting and contains a very humorous photo, enjoy. I would also recommend that you go to Mark Driscoll’s blog and watch The Banned Church Planting Video it is only eight minutes and worth the time.
