... own life. His driving passion has been equipping the whole people of God. That was the theme of his doctoral dissertation. I’m so thrilled to move into the new role of Chancellor, to serve him and the vision of Asbury, to not only stand firm in the faith once and for all delivered to the saints – but to move forward as a “go-to” rather than a “come-to” seminary – to provide leaders for apostolic congregations who will move from maintenance to mission. Listen, friends – the Church does not ...

... down on the edge of the platform, exhausted, as others continued to pray with those who had responded to Christ. The organist was playing quietly. I wanted to relax. I was just starting to unwind when I looked up to see this man, with shabby clothing and matted hair, standing in the center aisle about four rows back and waiting for permission to approach me. I nodded and gave him a weak little wave of my hand. Look at how this Easter Sunday is gong to end, I thought to myself. He’s going to hit me up for ...

... a new heart and a new community that will love and teach them how to connect with Jesus Christ and disconnect from the Evil One. Eleanor Doar got my attention with this bit of wisdom, “Irritation in the heart of a believer is always an invitation to the devil to stand by.”4 It’s why Paul warned in Ephesians to put a timer on anger and to be aware how it opens to door to serious compromise, “Be angry,” he said, “but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to ...

... raisin’; I can get over it and move beyond it with God’s help. I have been told on good authority that none of that old stuff will make it through the gates of heaven; it all has to be stripped away, either now or in the great purifying that stands between us and the lights of glory. All effects of sin and evil and meanness and ignorance will be left behind, and if you cling to them, then you will be left behind with them. We will be fully delivered; Christ died and rose to make it sure. Wrong behaviors ...

Carson paraphrases verses 1 and 2 in these words: “Do not assume the place of God by deciding you have the right to stand in judgment over all- do not do it, I say, in order to avoid being called to account by the God whose place you usurp.”8 What goes around comes around.

June Day was a girl in our class in Junior High School who was always called upon to stand at the board and take names in case any of us acted up while the teacher went out to that strange, mysterious place called the faculty lounge. Basically, she couldn’t take anymore and needed a break. And June Day was called upon to police the room. I must admit ...

... ’s biblical faith. Faith is the belief that all of life is in God’s hands, and that God will never forsake God’s children. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to have that kind of faith. In fact, sometimes our intellectual sophistication stands in the way of authentic faith. Bishop William Willimon tells about a woman who attended a church he once served. She said she had begun attending that church a number of years before because it was the only church in the area where a black person could ...

The secret is the track itself. It is a narrow, six‑lane track, and the stands that surround it are very steep. According to RUNNER’S WORLD, when 21,000 fans all scream, “Go, go!” in this kind of up close and personal setting, you run faster. The crowd forces you to keep your rhythm and push harder for one more stretch, for one ...

We worship until we have sung enough and prayed enough and are revived enough to go back into the world and stand against all that oppresses our people."

... from the Latin vocatio -- to be called -- became a word referring to monks, nuns, and priests, while ordinary Christians were taught that they did not have divine vocations. Luther changed all that. We are all priests for one another, he taught. Each of us stands before God on behalf of others. Martin Luther wasn't doing away with priests; he was multiplying their number by saying each of us is a priest to others. Luther was certain God always calls through means -- God's word, the sacraments, other people ...

But when they came to the track meet, they saw their old coach in the stands. Every time a team member was about to compete, he heard the old coach shouting, "Come on. I believe in you. You can do it." Each team member did his best. And when the time came for the team to run the obstacle course, the old coach found a ...

That's what Luke says. "So when these things take place, stand up and lift of your heads, for your redemption is drawing near." Such a wonderful passage, especially if you were a member of Luke's church, say around 80 A.D. It would give you tremendous hope that as fearful as these days are, as anxiety-producing the events happening ...
