Woody Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 The cover article in the April 9 Review is very interesting. It just arrived in the mail today and I thought this paragraph was notworthy ... Quote: "Being part of the body of Christ means building real relationships, real searching, and real love. As you begin your search for something more, look for books, articles, and sermons by C. S. Lewis, Paula Rinehart, Rick Warren, George Knight, Marty Weber, Jon Paulien, and my personal favorite, Ed Dickerson—people who aren’t afraid to ask or be asked tough questions and can direct you through the process." Wow .... some pretty powerful leaders listed there. But, who is that Ed guy? Any way .... the article is great reading. I highly recommend it. Check it out at : http://www.adventistreview.org/issue.php?issue=2009-1510&page=18 Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Members phkrause Posted April 8, 2009 Members Posted April 8, 2009 Redwood I'm looking forward to seeing my magazine in the mail. And yea who is this Ed guy? hahahaha hehehehehe hohohohoho pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Outta Here Posted April 8, 2009 Posted April 8, 2009 I have a feeling the author of the article attends the same church as Mr Dickerson. Quote
Woody Posted April 8, 2009 Author Posted April 8, 2009 I dunno. I have heard great things in SDA circles about this Ed fellow. In fact ... I myself have placed him with other authors such as George Knight and Jon Paulien. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.

Woody Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 Hey there buster ... If there ever was a 'lay prophet' ... George Knight would qualify. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Moderators Jeannieb43 Posted April 9, 2009 Moderators Posted April 9, 2009 George Knight is an ordained minister, isn't he? Quote Jeannie<br /><br /><br />...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....
Woody Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 George Knight is an ordained minister, isn't he? I don't know about the minister part. But, many are believing in the prophet part.

Members phkrause Posted April 9, 2009 Members Posted April 9, 2009 I'm not sure about the Prophet part, but we're reading his morning watch devotional for this year, for worship time. Its very informative. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
Woody Posted April 9, 2009 Author Posted April 9, 2009 Yes. I have found all of his books to be very helpful and informative. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
carolaa Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 George Knight is an ordained minister, isn't he? Apparently, he has an M.Div., but I don't know if that necessarily means that he is ordained. I don't think he ever served as a pastor of a congregation. Quote
Members phkrause Posted April 10, 2009 Members Posted April 10, 2009 Far as I can tell he's only been a teacher, and a book author. pk Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2

Moderators antcreations Posted April 10, 2009 Moderators Posted April 10, 2009 Georgie's book "If I Were the Devil" (available at your local ABC) should be a "must read" requirement to every pastor, conference administrators, lay leaders. i preached the first chapter of that book (80% verbatim) in my church - and man did it raffle some feathers. our BC Conference administrators have read the book and have encouraged us in our regional pastor meetings to read it. I'm glad our leaders are open to such questions and thought. hopefully Paulien and Bradford's Revelation Seminar REMIX will be available to us by fall this year. i can't wait! Paulien's Revelation approach is awesome! and Bradford's book on EGW is simply awesome. he has a video seminar on EGW available as well. a good gift to send to every adventist. "More Than A Prophet" should have accompanied our last quarter's Sabbath School lesson studies. http://www.sdanet.org/atissue/books/bradford/index.htm Quote http://antcreations.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/antcreations/

Moderators antcreations Posted April 11, 2009 Moderators Posted April 11, 2009 thanks red. i find reading and posting here in clubadventist a nice short escape from the pressures of pastoral work. specially in a weekend like this. you all have to check this banter out: http://atoday.com/we-are-devil-george-knight-has-spirit-prophecy Quote http://antcreations.com http://www.flickr.com/photos/antcreations/
Planey Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Graeme Bradford has two previous books about EGW: Prophets Are Human People Are Human These are also worth reading. Graeme Quote Graeme____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Joe_in_RP Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Quote: New TechnologyIf I were the devil, I would downplay the importance of new technologies in finishing the church’s work. New technology has tremendous power for both good and evil. Too often we have left the field to the devil. H.M.S. Richards once told me that he had to fight the brethren at every step. Radio in 1930 was too new, too radical, too innovative, too untried, a “waste of the Lord’s money.” I agree with him. However I do not think the church can do this. I think they can be venture capitalists but it needs to come from the lay without interference. Imagine if a dozen of our most eager college students were given a salary and told " Go spread the Adventist message on the Internet" . What if 6 brand new youth pastors were giving a salary and told "Mobilize a lay army to support this effort". Unions are you listening? Quote
Joe_in_RP Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Quote: I would make the church one big power struggle, without regard to mission or efficiency. This is the NAD Church! Quote
Woody Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 How so ? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Joe_in_RP Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 If I were the devil I would have the Adventist's ignore Islam. Quote
Woody Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Why Islam? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Woody Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Hey there buster ... What did you think of this Review article? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Joe_in_RP Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 I have just observed and heard reports from my friends around the USA, many who are pastors of the power struggle at all levels. Conference, others and of course local churches. The churches are the worst. Quote
