    The Ministry of Prayer
    Introduction The longer I am a Christian, the more I discover the power of what I call the ministry of prayer.  It seems as though praying is a difficult thing for most people to do.  According to one professor, quoting statistics from a prayer conference, those in attendance (lay men and women) prayed an average of five minutes a day.  The ministers did some...

    Time Management and Sabbath in Seminary
    This post was written by Chad of Outside is Better. Chad attends Asbury Theological Seminary and works 3 jobs… that’s right… THREE! Ever since I have entered into ministry I have been a Sabbath geek. Some accuse me of just making sure I “get a day off”, but to me the idea of Sabbath is so much more than that. Spend some time in Hebrews...

    Two Cent Tuesday – Praying for your seminary professors
    So, ever since I read Terry’s blog post Adopt a Seminary Professor I’ve been mulling over the fact that it never even crossed my mind to pray for my professors. Talk about lame. These professors are giving themselves to my (our) training. Does it not make perfect sense that I should pray for God’s grace in their lives and in their families… that...

    Two Cent Tuesday – Seminary Prayer
    (First, let me begin by saying sorry to those who are not a current seminarian and can’t answer this question… however, I think the results are important for both current and future seminarians and something we must ask here.) I’ve been thinking a lot about prayer and seminary. Sure, your professor says a prayer before the lecture begins, but other...

    First Steps to Finding Your Seminary
    These aren’t four magic steps. I just thought it might be helpful for those who are wondering how to start the process of finding a seminary if I gave a couple “first steps.” Pray – Seminary is a big decision. So much of what you learn at seminary will greatly impact your ministry down the road (whether vocation or not). With so much riding...

    BUY THIS BOOK! It only costs $2.50 This book is for you. “Before and above being learned, a minister must be godly. Nothing could be more fatal, however, than to set these two things over against one another.

    Seminary Studies and Devotional Time
    Lots of Christians have a “devotional time” or something like that… a time that is set aside daily to study God’s word, pray, and worship. Me, I try to do it first thing in the morning. Starting my day focusing on God and his word helps me to get going in the right direction from the get-go. While at orientation the other day, one of the speakers...

    Finding the Will of God
    Trying to decided if God is calling you to seminary or not can be difficult. While you could give the magic eight ball a try, there is probably a better way to determine what God is calling you to do. For me, I found Finding the Will of God by Dr. Bruce Waltke to be tremendously helpful. While I already knew a lot of what Dr. Waltke had to say, it was refreshing to...
