Worship is a Spirit-led overflow of God’s identity through a believer by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that manifests itself in an expression that proclaims God.

Grateful to have passed my exit interview today with W Andrew Williams, Jake Roudkovski, and Archie England. Thanks, guys, for reading my 265-page ministry project and conducting my exit interview. I can’t recommend the Doctor of Ministry @NOBTS highly enough!

This is noteworthy for theological education. I think these changes are reflective of the trend towards distance education. It will be interesting to see how institutions respond.

[ATS @ATSdotedu]

As more ATS schools explore and implement CBTE in an increasing variety of contexts, the ATS Board of Commissioners recognized that it was time to review and revise the Guidelines on CBTE.

“What is lacking is sermons meant to be God’s Word and received as such.” - Karl Barth during a lecture at the University of Göttingen in 1924

100%. Kuruvilla's commentaries are gold for preachers.

[Peter Gurry @pjgurry]

If you’re a preacher, make sure you check out Abe Kuruvilla’s series of theological commentaries for preachers. The ones I’ve used have been really helpful. https://t.co/KwnB91vjQT

[Eric Duenke @DuenkeEric]

@pjgurry Yes. I used his commentary on Genesis, 1 & 2 Timothy, and am currently using his commentary on Mark and interacting with it in my DMin project. I think his hermeneutic and his emphasis on pragmatics need more attention. Thank you for recommending them!

You know you are making disciples when your area of ministry continues in your absence.

[Eric Duenke @DuenkeEric]

I don’t love preaching because I love to preach. I love preaching because it allows me to draw near to God through His Word, and then I get to share that intimacy with God through His Word with His precious people. I love preaching because I love God, His Word, and His people.

“Imitating Bible characters, though popular and superficially easy, is a dead-end road for true biblical preaching. It is a homiletical shortcut that results in a hermeneutical short circuit.” - Sidney Greidanus

"You are never more yourself than when you are doing what God has called you to do." - Joel Gregory
