    The Doctrine and Covenants is a book of divine revelations, given to members of the Church of Jesus Christ, to help further the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom and contains an invitation to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. As one engulfs oneself into the Doctrine and Covenants, one will find out that, just as the Book of Mormon is the keystone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Doctrine and Covenants is a companion to the Book of Mormon and is the capstone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Doctrine and Covenants gives new insight to gospel topics and one can further partake of the bread of life as one drinketh from the pages of the Doctrine and Covenants to come closer to Christ.…

    Although I was raised in a Christian home, I don’t believe I thoroughly understood the faith until junior high when I accepted Christ as my savior. As we were worshiping, my youth pastor went up on stage and encouraged us that if we wanted to, we could pray alongside him and accept Jesus Christ as our lord and savior. I felt his presence immensely that night, and Since then I’ve been striving to grow increasingly closer and improve my understanding of him. As Christians I believe that we’re incapable of staying still in our faith. We’re either growing intentionally nearer or through indifference moving further away from God.…

    In accessing and investigation of theology, it is important to consider the different theological methods. As systematic theologians differ from interpreters in the sense that they look at the whole message from the Bible and the applicability of it, the five levels of analysis, which are philosophical evaluation, biblical evaluation, historical development, theological construction, and practical application, are incredibly essential to in providing a profound understanding of the text in Scripture. Philosophical evaluation deals with evaluation of one's personal world view. As world view is the filtered lens that each person perceives the world with, one typically holds certain perceptions or stances, which constitute several presuppositions.…

    True and significant life is found in Jesus Christ and because of my firm conviction of this it has been my primary objective to point people to Jesus. Being persuaded that Christ wants Christians and especially those who take leadership roles to minister to the needs of others, I have ordered my life to conform to that conviction. Ultimately, Jesus desires that each Christian serves him by serving others; this is accomplished in a variety of ways – feeding those who are hungry, teaching everyone the life saving Gospel, and by leading in a way that reflects the glory of Christ. It has been my immense pleasure to have had the opportunity to preach God’s Word to thousands of people over the past fifteen years. It is my sincere passion to see people embrace Christ Jesus as their Lord and savior and to be transformed by the renewing of their minds through the Word of God.…

    Much can be gained by a study of the personal letters of a first-century missionary to one of his most trusted disciples. Paul wrote almost half of the New Testament, but only four of his letters are written to individuals. Of these four, I’ve chosen 1Timothy to further explore. Thirty years of labor for the gospel took its toll on Paul. His body bore the suffering of a servant of Jesus Christ.…

    Pastors must be servant-leaders and not lord it over their flock. Gregory presents important points with much wisdom that pastors would do well to follow as an example. There are some (many) who should not be in pastoral ministry because they lead their flock astray. This is due to the fact that there are pastors who do not have sound doctrine which leads to wolves invading the flock. One must be called into pastoral ministry by God in order to do this important work.…

    Wounded Healer Summary

    I believe Nouwen’s assertion that ministers are wounded and in need of healing before they can minister to others is insightful and spot on. (Nouwen, 88) Nouwen points to both personal loneliness and professional loneliness as common causes of ministers being wounded and needing healing before they can effectively minister to others. (Nouwen, 89-93) I love the way Nouwen summarizes the call of today’s ministers in the face of these types of wounds, stating: “They are called to be the wounded healer, the ones who must not only look after their own wounds, but at the same time be prepared to heal the wounds of others.” (Nouwen, 88) He also states: “it is their task to make visible the first vestiges of liberation for others.”…

    Image Of The Trinity

    Humanity was not created to live life in solitary isolation, but in community. Theologian Donald Fairbairn asserts, “Human beings as God originally created them were intended to reflect the life of the Trinity through their relationships with one another. If we apply these truths to the present situation of believers, we recognize that both among Christians, and between Christians and non-Christians, we are called to reflect the Father-Son relationship” In the garden it was as God intended, the Godhead and Adam, then with the addition of Eve, a human companion for Adam, the reflected image of the Trinity was complete. Throughout biblical history, it attests to God’s desire for his creation to “reflect both the character of God and the relationship…

    According to vs 42 they continued steadfastly in the apostles ' doctrine”. This tells me that we are to continually search the Word. The KJV said they continued steadfastly, The Expanded Bible puts it as “They spent [devoted] their time learning the apostles’ teaching” ,the Amplified Bible said They were continually and faithfully devoting themselves to the instruction of the apostles and the Message Bible said They committed themselves to the teaching of the apostles. I read of all that for us to note the adjective used; steadfast, continually and faithfully, committed and devoted. This tells me that they did not have a lack lustre, any old how , if I feel like approach but one with a passion, devotion as if they really love and want to know…

    As the people of God, a person of faith, and part of a community parish called and committed to serve and speak for those who may be voiceless, who need a vision of hope, who need the way, the truth, and the life to conquer and have victory this day and always in and through Christ. You and I are most privileged just like the apostle Paul and others to be heralds, helpers, and herders leading one another to search, to seek, and see Jesus active, abiding, and abundant in all things of heaven and earth. As God’s servant’s and stalwarts, we know from our relationship, redemption, and resurrected in Christ and his grace and glory; we are and have been surely blessed by our Lord’s bountiful gifts and because of that we are indeed thankful and appreciative, yet quite aware of our responsibilities and resolutions day by day to work in his fruitful vineyard and Kingdom to share and shine the light and life of the gospel good news everywhere. Reading, hearing, and investing ourselves Into the Holy Scriptures of God, we learn lessons of what to do and not to do. In other words, we are given a second chance, to start anew with a fresh beginning.…
