The Heart of a Great Pastor salutes pastors everywhere--those
wanting to take a fresh look at their ministries, as well as those
just starting out. As the baton is passed to the "new breed of
pastors," there is a great need to help them count the cost of
serving Christ and equip them with the tools, wisdom, and
encouragement from those who have gone before them. H.B. London,
Jr., and Neil B.Wiseman bring their experiences and heart to
pastors for such a task. To the "new breed," they ask: Do you have
a mentor? Have you examined your unique call and place in society?
Do you have buy-in from your spouse and children? Do you spend as
much time in the Word and study as you do in the entrepreneurial
pursuits of your ministry? Do you genuinely love people? Do you
really understand how invested God is in you and how important it
is for you to make it? Here is help for young pastors and their
mentors to stay strong personally while taking churches to the edge
of creative, imaginative newness for Christ while remaining safely
anchored to the abiding and adventuresome gospel.
Fascinating stories, anecdotes and illustrations from one of its
most inspirational practitioners. In short, pithy paragraphs, Sandy
Millar talks about the life of Jesus, God's call to intimacy, the
power of the Holy Spirit, and the teachings of the Bible. Compiled
and edited by Mark Elsdon-Dew from transcripts of his sermons and
writings, Sandy Millar's teaching will heartily encourage anyone
with a love for life and Jesus. 'Instead of a massy tome of
controversial divinity we have a delightful and unoppressive
simplicity which nevertheless packs a Christian punch.' - Rt Rev.
Rt Hon. Lord Richard Chartres Cover artwork from Sunday Times
bestselling author and illustrator Charlie Mackesy, creator of The
Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse - the 2019 Waterstones Book of
the Year.
Speelman deals with a central question in the intellectual history
of the sixteenth century: to what extent can Calvin be regarded as
responsible for the tendency in Calvinism or, more broadly, in
Reformed Protestantism, to form a church which has its own
ecclesiastical organization and office bearers? So far, claiming a
great deal of independence for the church has been considered an
important aspect of Calvin's legacy. In this line of reasoning, it
is assumed that Calvin was a strong opponent of the church as a
state organization that did not have its own governing body and
power of excommunication. To better understand this issue, the text
examines the position of the church within the city-state of Bern.
Secondly, it directs its attention to the manner in which Calvin
gave form to ecclesiastical life in Geneva. Next, it deals with the
church in France, and finally, it examines the influence of Calvin
and French Calvinism on the organization of the Reformed church in
The Netherlands in the 1570s.
