Depression and the Church

Last updated on: October 13, 2015 at 5:26 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Cameron Lee Recently, I did a memorial service for a man who took his own life after a long struggle with depression. It was the second such service I’d done in about two years. Both men were successful in their own way, competent at their professions. Both had friends and family who cared. But in the end, each died alone. Of all the psychiatric ailments, depression is the most common worldwide. Estimates of the prevalence of depression vary,... Read more

An Imitator of Christ: An Evangelical Protestant Reflects on Francis’ US Visit

Last updated on: September 28, 2015 at 5:21 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Mark Labberton Pope Francis inspires me to follow Jesus. That’s it. I follow what the Pope says and I am grateful for the sweep of his vision, the humility of his spirit, and the depth of his hope. I am moved by his simple gestures of compassion, and the primacy of the person in each embrace. His warm, unself-conscious purposefulness embodies the charisma of love, a love that he believes is fully and generously and indiscriminately poured out through... Read more

Letters of Reference

Last updated on: October 5, 2015 at 1:00 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Cameron Lee Let’s face it. Graduate school—even a graduate theological seminary—is to some extent a meritocracy in which people are graded according to various standards of excellence. Students in particular probably feel it most when it comes to applying for scholarships, fellowships, assistantships, internships—a whole fleet of “-ships” for which there is often stiff competition. Don’t get me wrong: I’m not about to propose any kind of radical reworking of the system. Academic excellence is a worthy goal... Read more

Intercessory Mission: The Spirit’s Dangerous Answer to Prayer in Numbers 11:16-34

By Dr. Amos Yong This is the fifth installment of a series of posts by Dr. Yong on the theme of the “Holy Spirit and Mission in Canonical Perspective.” See all the posts here. Much has been made by modern Pentecostal interpreters of the Spirit’s filling of the Seventy in Numbers 11 as an Old Testament prototype of the Day of Pentecost event in Acts 2. There are certainly many observable parallels – i.e., of Moses as Spirit-filled leader of the people of God being a type... Read more

Pastoring in a Missionary Key: Caring and Sending

Last updated on: July 21, 2015 at 3:49 pm By Guest Contributor

By Dr. Kurt Fredrickson Eugene Peterson once said: “Being a pastor, if called to it, is the best life there is.” And yet, it is often a difficult life for pastors. A challenge faced by many pastors is the conflicting expectations placed on them by their congregations. Some see the primary role of pastors as caring for the needs of the congregation. Others see the primary role of pastors as equipping the congregation to be sent outward in mission. People... Read more
