Ministerial Ethics in the 21St Century by Antwon C. Lewis PhD Pdf

What are Christian ethics? A Christian’s ethics should originate within the boundaries of Christianity, and likewise, the sole basis for ethical practices and behaviors should be built upon the theological threshold of God, the Lordship of Christ his Son, and the hope of glory in habituating the new kingdom. Ministerial Ethics in the 21st Century answers fundamental questions about Christian ethics, explaining what it means to be ethical in ministry. Author Antwon C. Lewis also helps us understand what constitutes a healthy character and what role discernment plays in various ethical situations. Christian leaders will especially benefit from this study, as they can have their moral principles be influenced by scriptural standards—and not determine right or wrong based on their own value system. A crisis in today’s society does indeed exist—and our present world is challenged with a need for ministerial ethics. Therefore, thorough research and investigation are needed, and Ministerial Ethics in the 21st Century will help ameliorate continued hypocrisy and poor ministerial integrity in the church.

21st Century Pastor by David C. Fisher Pdf

The third millennium. It's a time of tremendous opportunity for the church--and tremendous challenge. More than ever, pastors need a model for ministry that can equip them for the rigors of a restless, increasingly secularized culture. In the 21st Century Pastor, David Fisher explores the apostle Paul's concept of ministry to offer a paradigm that is both biblical and relevant. Paul's view is fleshed out with examples from Fisher's own twenty-five years of pastoral experience, presenting a roadmap for today's pastor that is scholarly, practical, dynamic, and inspiring. The 21st Century Pastor first addressees crucial issues of pastoral identity, the significance of geography, time, and ecclesiology. It then explores Paul's metaphors for ministry (jars of clay, farmers and builders, servants and stewards, and others) to reveal an accurate portrait of an effective, biblical pastor--the kind who will speak to the heart of modern culture rather than languish on its fringes. Filling the rare role of a pastor to pastors, Fisher's sage insights help pastors answer their own identity questions, empowering them to minister to a deeply needy society. Says Fisher, "Pastors who know what time it is will, in the name and power of God, create communities of faith where the values of the Gospel are embraced, taught, and lived out."

Ministerial Ethics by Joe E. Trull,James E. Carter Pdf

Ministerial Ethics provides both new and experienced pastors with tools for sharpening their personal and professional decision-making skills. The authors seek to explain the unique moral role of the minister and the ethical responsibilities of the vocation and to provide "a clear statement of the ethical obligations contemporary clergy should assume in their personal and professional lives." Trull and Carter deal with such areas as family life, confidentiality, truth-telling, political involvement, working with committees, and relating to other church staff members. First published in 1993, this edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and contains expanded sections on theological foundations, the role of character, confidentiality, and the timely topic of clergy sexual abuse. Appendices describing various denominational ministerial codes of ethics are included.

Liberating Ministry from the Success Syndrome by R. Kent Hughes,Barbara Hughes Pdf

Every year thousands of God's servants leave the ministry convinced they are failures. Years ago, in the midst of a crisis of faith, Kent Hughes almost became one of them. But instead he and his wife Barbara turned to God's Word, determined to learn what God had to say about success and to evaluate their ministry from a biblical point of view. This book describes their journey and their liberation from the "success syndrome"-the misguided belief that success in ministry means increased numbers. In today's world it is easy to be seduced by the secular thinking that places a number on everything. But the authors teach that true success in ministry lies not in numbers but in several key areas: faithfulness, serving, loving, believing, prayer, holiness, and a Christlike attitude. Their thoughts will encourage readers who grapple with feelings of failure and lead them to a deeper, fuller understanding of success in Christian ministry. This book was originally published by Tyndale in 1987 and includes a new preface.
