Intriguingly, even older, more seasoned pastors yearn for insight into their task, as they remain "undiscipled" in the...

Veterans who experience the overwhelming trauma of war are often still stuck in the far country. In the aftermath, many feel abandoned by God. Adam D. Tietje suggests that Holy Saturday, Christ's descent into hell, is the place where God fully identifies with our God-abandonment. In light of the resurrection, it can be seen that the complete hiddenness of God on Holy Saturday is in fact the fullness of revelation. God has chosen to be revealed precisely...

Until this world is, ended, the gospel will be, challenged from places high and low. It will be, tweaked and twisted, denounced, and denied. And most fundamentally, Christ calls local churches-not seminaries, not presbyteries, not synods, not theologians, not publishers, and not even eJournals, to defend the gospel. It's the people in the pews and the pulpits whom these apostles address.
Insofar as God permits, this issue of the 9Marks eJournal aims...

Pastors and the communities they serve have become preoccupied with image and standing, with administration, measurable success, sociological impact, and economic viability.
In Working the Angles, Peterson...
