I have been listening to teaching on leadership by Dr John Johnson from Western Seminary. He says in a discussion about forming “consultative teams” that
I was reading this morning once again the passage from Acts Chapter 6:1-7, which talks about a problem the Early Church encountered. Basically what happened
Religious Titles Don’t allow anyone to call you pastor or reverend: But do not you be called Rabbi, for One is your Leader, the Christ, and
With more and more information becoming available online, it seems we have more and more opportunities to create a kind of eclectic faith – that is, a faith whose tenets are drawn from many sources, streams and philosophies – good or bad.

Visiting ministers can be a great blessing to any church. But if you don’t do your homework, you could be inviting disaster.
Some religious leaders have the idea that only certain people have the right
to read and pray to God in order to understand what God is saying to them through
the Bible. For this reasons in some churches the Bible was kept for centuries
untranslated in the language of the people. In this way religious leaders could
