Pastors and Theology

Theology has been defined as the science which studies God and all that relates to Him.  So, at a minimum, every pastor should be a theologian.  Our study should not be for the sermon, but for a deeper knowledge of God, how He has revealed Himself through the pages of Scripture and through His Son.  We then preach out of the overflow of the knowledge of the Holy One that we have gained through our study during the week.  When the dust settles, it should be the knowledge of God and its application that we are communicating to our people.

A Word from My Wife

My wife and I were talking the other day.  You know, the general type of conversation that you have with your wife, kind of an odds and ends conversation that covers the events of the day.  In this particular conversation she shared with me a quote she had come across that day.  It is, "Circumstances are the expression of God's will."  How simple, true, and to the point; and well worth meditating upon.
