Ministry Leadership

Wie müsste sie aussehen - eine Kirche, in der sich möglichst viele Menschen wirklich wohlfühlen? Christopher Schlicht und Maximilian Bode, zwei junge Pastoren, probieren es einfach. Als Pastor nicht zu heilig daherzukommen, das ist beiden wichtig. Deshalb tragen Pastor Max und Pastor Chris im Gottesdienst keinen Talar, sondern Jeansjacke oder Flanellhemd. Nur am Kollar, dem Priesterkragen, sind sie während des Gottesdienstes zu erkennen.

Parents are pitted against children. Friendships are discouraged.

Does the phrase church discipline sound like an oxymoron? The church’s message is about grace, we reason, while discipline feels like the opposite of grace. In fact, Jesus taught his disciples to practice church discipline because it’s one way congregations grow in holiness and imitate God’s own love.

And this species of the divine patience indeed being, as it were, at a distance, may perhaps be esteemed as among “things too high for us”; but what is that which, in a certain way, has been grasped by hand among men openly on the Earth? God suffers himself to be conceived in a mother’s womb, and awaits the time for birth; and, when born, bears the delay of growing up; and, when grown up, is not eager to be recognized, but is furthermore contumelious to himself, and is baptized by his own servant; and repels with words alone the assaults of the tempter.

Often, as people read the Bible, they come under the conviction that God wants them to change their ways. Or perhaps He wants to encourage them with the example of one of His fearful but obedient children. Or warn them of impending disaster if they persist in behavior He does not condone. Why do Bible people affect them this way? Because they are not legendary giants or superheroes; they are ordinary people.
