"Most pastors know when they enter the ministry that they will spend time helping others through times of suffering. What they usually do not realize, though, is that they too will suffer.

But church history is filled with compelling stories of men who w ..."

"What Is the Church? Let's start with definitions. Much of the confusion and
disagreement begins here. When we say “church,” what do we mean? People

in these ways. The Greek word we translate “church” is ek ..."

"That honor belongs to Eric Simmons, who leads the Covenant Life singles
ministry. That is no small task at Covenant Life because about six hundred
singles attend the church. With “humble orthodoxy,” Eric consciously played off A
Generous Orthodoxy, the title of a book by leading emergent pastor Brian
McLaren. One small word can make a world of difference. What's humble to
Simmons doesn't look so humble to McLaren. And what's orthod ..."
