Abstract:

In recent times, news of financial misappropriations of some ministers of the gospel in some churches puts a question on the financial integrity of the ‘holy men and women of God.’ It is believed that the life of a minister is the life of his ministry. Integrity in the New Testament context means soundness, purity, honesty, and adherence to a pattern of good works. Integrity is a crucial matter especially, in these days when pastoral scandals seem to become rampant and some ministers of the gospel are abusing the true nature of the pulpit ministry through their lifestyle and messages.

The impact of new media has continued to transform people.

Though the abovementioned impacts are widely studied, the impact of mobile phones in ministry—in sharing the gospel of God to humankind is hardly discussed.

Abstract:

Stress can be destructive if not well managed. It also has a direct bearing on the individual’s performance at work and productivity. The main purpose of the study was to investigate the sources of stress and management strategies that are common to ministers of the gospel. A descriptive research design was used for this study. A total of 250 ministers of the gospel serving in the Orthodox, Pentecostal and Charismatic churches in the Cape Coast Metropolis in the Central Region of Ghana were sampled for the study.

Theological shorthand is expressed through the words: relationships, like Jesus, being there, and time and journey. These words articulate a complex and nuanced practice that carry and communicate the Gospel and faith of youth ministers amongst young people. When examined, the practice of youth ministers resonate with echoes of theology from the Christian tradition, yet this is not overtly expressed. The theological shorthand articulation can be seen as ‘thin’ theology, with practice based on being like Jesus and the youth minister as symbol. Current youth ministry practice can be seen to be g

Abstract:

Some reading the canonical Gospels, namely, the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are inclined to think that the disciples Jesus called were all men or males because whether it is the names of the apostles or a pronoun used about them, it is either a man’s name or masculine gender. It is a situation that tends to lead some Christian churches to prefer having only male ministers or pastors. The author of this paper argues that the notion or idea is a presentation of the first three Gospels but not the Fourth. The Fourth Gospel presents not only men but also women as disciples of Jesus.

Abstract:

Health and healing are vital aspects of human existence, often prompting individuals to go to great lengths in search of relief. When conventional medicine fails to resolve their health issues, many turn to prayer houses or traditional healers for solutions. Healing was a central part of Jesus’ earthly mission, and in response to His directive for disciples to preach the gospel and heal the sick, the Christ Apostolic Church (CAC) has prioritized healing as a key aspect of its ministry. However, concerns have arisen over some ministers employing unbiblical methods—such as selling anointing oil,

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to explore the concept of God’s divine calling and His provision for Ministers within the Christian faith using heuristic inquiry framework. It argues that God calls Ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to service and provides accordingly for the sustenance of that call. Firstly He calls them into knowing and obeying Him. That ultimately, leads to service. What does spiritual calling entails? What are the perceptions of God’s call to his disciples? How does God call disciples into Ministry? These are the three questions the study attempted to contribute answers to.

Membership retention is obviously one of the greatest challenges for ministers of the gospel.

It is in this perspective that John Wesley’s method of creating small, interactive groups in order to retain converts is evoked.

Because we have no doctrinal formulations of our own, the liturgy in the Church of England expresses much of our theology.

For the pastor, this means that he should live his ministry as a profession. He has particular skills for preaching the gospel.

Scholarly research on the ministry of early Pentecostal women in Norway, are scarce. However, historical sources from the first half of the 20th century, bear witness to several prominent women ministers who spread the gospel all over Norway. Alma Halse (1907-1969) was one of those evangelists, who also pioneered a large social work in the north of Norway.

Abstract:

In 1854, Philip Schaff, professor of church history at Mercersburg Theological Seminary and minister of the German Reformed Church, reported to his denomination on the state of Christianity in America. Although the American Church had many shortcomings, according to Schaff the United States was ‘by far the most religious and Christian country in the world’. Many Protestant leaders, however, took a dimmer view of Christianity's prospects. In the middle decades of the nineteenth century, a nagging sense prevailed that traditional theology was no longer capable of integrating religion and culture

Abstract. Over the past three decades, youth ministry and homiletic experts have offered several strategies to help youth ministers in their efforts to preach effectively to young people. However, the attempt has the potential to become a human-centered attempt. This paper attempted to see how the effort to preach to young people does not become a human-centered effort. Using the literature study method, the author answers the subject matter based on Paul's theology of preaching. The results of this study indicate that youth ministers must try to convey the Gospel of Christ clearly and must fu

Abstract:

<em>The Priesthood of women in the New Testament in the mainline churches is a controversial issue that calls for attention. Priesthood should be given without consideration for sex. Since the priest is one who communes with God and communicates with the flocks. Above all, ordination is a ministry of service, which is purely pastoral, and administrative, there should be no obstacle on the way of women aspiring to be priest. This is because in other facets of life women have proven to be efficient and capable administrators and leaders. The Bible conformed from the beginning; females have taken

AbstractJohn Calvin's plan to study Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy in the form of a Harmony was conceived in the congrégations, the Bible studies of the ministers of Geneva and its surrounding villages. A surviving manuscript of Calvin's introductory exposition to the series, studied here for the first time since the sixteenth century, reveals intriguing details on the conception of this plan. It also sheds light on the history of the congrégations, this fascinating example of concentration on the Bible in Geneva, on the co-operation of the ministers, and on Calvin's role as the M

In addition to his work as preacher and writer, Spurgeon built children’s orphanages, started a theological college and assisted in many noble causes. As part of this benevolent work, hi

Abstract:

<em>One of the greatest cankerworms of Christianity in contemporary Nigeria is the maddening quest for miracles and prophecies. This has constricted the criteria of what constitutes a true man of God, or a minister, to one who can perform miracles and give prophecies. It has equally led to a situation where some men of God stage manage miracles and prophecies to meet their faithful popular demand of miracles and prophecies. The mind-boggling paradoxes in this scenario are how fake miracles have become a  norm in a religion whose founder, Jesus Christ, is regarded as the “Way and the

Evangelism is an important topic in Christianity, given the duty the Jesus Christ left to his disciples in particular and to the church in general as written in the Bible. In principle, the gospel must be preached in order for people to believe. What was the evangelistic strategy of Barnabas and Saul in Acts 13:4-12?

The article addresses clericalism in the Catholic Church from the perspective of Pope Francis, who defines it as an ecclesial perversion that affects both clergy and laity. Clericalism, understood as a culture that promotes abuse of power, hierarchical relationships, and the exclusion of the laity, is, according to the Pope, one of the main obstacles to the Church’s mission. Its origin is identified in priestly formation, particularly in seminaries, where separation, rigid discipline, and an authoritarian vision of ministry are often emphasized.

Listening to sermons through digital media is not new. However, the pandemic pressed many preachers into a medium in unexpected ways. The need for immediate solutions did not allow time for preachers to reflect on what was happening theologically. This paper explores theological presence. The question of how one creates connection and presence when no one is even in the same room, city, or country is not a new one. The rhetorical concern of being “present while absent” shows up in the writings of ancient rhetoricians, opening the door for theological conversation. Recognizing there are ways to

An ideal minister of God should be prepared to take up the cross and deny everything, just as Paul suffered so much in his ministry. However, nowadays many servants are afraid to experience suffering, the problem is they do not want to suffer, are afraid, worry, that is what causes Christ's servants or God's servants not to preach the gospel. So with that, the author is motivated to examine 2 Corinthians 6: 4-10, which describes Paul's suffering to answer the problem of God's servant that is happening in the field.

Globally, many universities offer programmes on music training and pastoral leadership. In Kenya, such training is predominantly in theological schools with few universities offering such programmes. Currently, there is a growing interest of church musicians in Kenya due to the need to spread the gospel beyond the church walls and to promote ecumenism.

By the 1930s, politicians excused themselves from appearing on platforms with the ministers and the symbols of Christian faith. Protestant clergymen owed their lease on the attentions of the politicians and the voting public of those years to the intellectuals' patience with the liberal preachers ' reinterpretation of the agenda of progress in terms of the imminent, poslmillenial “Kingdom of God.” Meanwhile, the spect
