1163 | Interpreting the Word out-of-context | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 171399 | ||
Dear Greatmacoy, I echo the thoughts of Searcher in answer to your question. I would also add my observation that there has been a general degradation in the quality of sermons due in large part to a moving away from expository preaching! The desire for Hollywood-Celebrity-type Preachers has brought much detriment to the Word of God ( 2 Tim.4:3). Topical "sermons" (i.e. platitudes) are their forte because they are made emminently entertaining and can be easily eisegeted. Again, topical sermons are fine- if exegesis has been done. However, the move away from expositional preaching can and does lead to error because one can "make" the Word fit their (oftentimes) agenda! Expositional preaching forces one to deal with and stay in context. It is also considerably harder because it entails knowledge of original languages and work:-)(2 Tim. 2:15) It is more serious and also places demands on the attention of the audience (Acts 17:11). Imagine not having to think in 30-second sound bites!? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1166 | Dear God, i missed YOU | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 173019 | ||
Corin, God speaks to us primarliy through His Word. But, the circumstances in our life can also reflect His answer(s) and I do believe He speaks to us indirectly through other mature believers. (Wisdom in a multitiude of counsellors). Our responsibility is to , 1. seek Him; 2. study His Word; and 3. be devoted to prayer. Keep seeking Him and He will answer you, my friend. But remember, the when and how is up to the Lord Himself! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1168 | how and why babtist have men, women day? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 175537 | ||
Hello Barbara, Your question seems more in the realm of church policy than Bible study. I'm afraid I can't give any Biblical reason as I'm not familiar with the operations of the Missionary Baptist Church. Might I suggest going online under "Missionary Baptist Church" and do a search. There you might find a doctrinal statement, etc. in answer to your question. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

1175 | Genre of 2nd Timothy? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 178751 | ||
Hello vikki, I'm not sure genre would be the most apt way to categorize any Book of the Bible. The Bible- as a whole- could be said to be of the genre of literature. 2nd Timothy is one of the Pastoral Epistles and the Apostle Paul's last. I trust this will be of some help. BradK |

1179 | Matt. 18 Mediation or Christian Hearing? | 2 Tim 2:15 | BradK | 181652 | ||
Dear Jesusfreakk, Most disputes are complex. Since I don't know the specifics of your situation or your Church's workings, I have to offer some general guidelines. Hopefully, it will be of some help. In the book "Mastering Conflict and Controversy", authors Dobson, Leas, and Shelly observe that: "The Pastor’s Role in Intervention An acquaintance of mine told me something a doctor told him: “Doctors don’t heal the body; the body heals itself. Sometimes a disease or infection becomes more than the body can handle on its own. With the medication and procedures we use, we are trying to give the body a chance to heal itself.” In conflict mediation, I see my role in similar terms. I can’t coerce people to reconcile. But just as a doctor can resort to ice packs for a sprained ankle and antibiotics for an infection, so I can bring factors to bear in a dispute that will encourage the disputing parties to seek their own healing. These are: • Scripture. Sometimes a pastor feels he exerts no more authority than the referee of a World Wrestling Federation match. However, while the WWF doesn’t exactly stand behind its referees, God wholly backs up his Word. Scripture is the strongest factor influencing people to begin and continue the painful process of reconciliation. God-fearing people, convinced that conflict and bitterness displease God, will swallow their pride and make peace with enemies. It doesn’t take more than a few gentle reminders, especially from Ephesians, to encourage people to reconcile. My use of Scripture, of course, depends on the clarity of the Scripture. When the verse under question is clear (for example, that stealing is wrong), I state my position unequivocally. When a verse is subject to two or more interpretations (for example on the divorce issue), I explain my interpretation and clearly label it as such. I don’t try to strong-arm them into buying my interpretation but insist that they decide what they think is right. I leave the issue between them and God, because that’s where the issue ultimately rests (it’s their conflict). I never get embroiled in an argument over correct interpretation. • Motivation. By approaching the parties in conflict and saying, “Let’s try to work this out,” I serve as an instigator and impetus of reconciliation. Just as a preacher brings people, especially people who otherwise avoid that decision, to the point of faith with an “altar call,” so I beckon adversaries with a “peacemaking call.” • Productive communication . Until they start talking, rivals cannot reconcile. But when opponents try to communicate on their own, they often lock horns and do more goring than good. They accuse, threaten, and yell. In the presence of a pastor, they are much less likely to behave in the same way. A church committee can perform this same service, but there’s also something about the office of pastor that puts people on their best behavior. In some pastoral situations, that reality makes me squirm—I usually don’t like people to put on a false front when I’m around. But when I stand between two angry people, I’m thankful for the forbearance that my office encourages. • Accountability. On occasion, I’ve had to warn warring members that they were jeopardizing their opportunities and privileges in church by their ongoing strife. If they don’t settle, I tell them, they’ll forfeit leadership roles, ministry functions (such as choir), and ultimately church membership. I’m not waving a stick at that time; I’m simply informing them of the implications of their stubbornness. No one should minister whose spiritual life is crippled by a refusal to restore relationships. No one should continue as a member who blatantly ignores Scripture and church leaders. And although committee members can bring others to accountability in this way, sometimes it takes a word from the pastor to drive the point home." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
