The Nature and Person of Christ

Wadie Farag

The first seven centuries of the Christian Era witnessed the church battling coura­geously against several here­sies that mainly dealt with: a. the status of Christ as God, and b. the incarnate relation­ship between His divine and human natures. These two problems, both relating to Christ, were the subject of protracted controversies known as the Trinitarian and Christological controver­sies. While the Trinitarian controversy rocked the church in the first four cen­turies of the Christian Era, the Christo­logical controversy followed it from the fifth to the seventh century, or until the rise of Islam.

A Prophetic Message—3

Taylor G. Bunch

Of the many signs given by Jesus in His great pro­phetic sermon by which we may know when His return is near, "even at the door," the only one He repeated, in­dicating its importance, was the warning of the coming of false prophets and apostles to deceive, if it were possible, the very elect.

A Plea for Theological Seriousness

Edward W. H. Vick

To communicate week in and week out the meaning of the Christian faith obviously requires much more attention in reference to theology than the sporadic witness of an ,occasional affirmation of one's belief.

The Presentation of Ezekiel 38 in Evangelism (Concluded)

Alger Francis Johns

The most difficult question remains to be considered. Is this phrase in Ezekiel 38:2 correctly translated "chief prince"? Should nesi' ro'sh be rendered "chief prince" of Meshech and Tubal or should it be translated "prince of Rosh"?

The Song of Saints

Edward White

The Biblical teaching concerning the saints—their iden­tity, the prerequisites of becoming a saint, the saints' rela­tionship to God and to mankind, the state of the dead, et cetera—is not in harmony with man-made tradition and teaching. Many traditions are highly contradictory among themselves. Yet it is of interest to know some of the tradi­tions concerning those to whom various hymn tunes are dedicated.

"My Bible Says"

Andrew Fearing

Can you imagine a success­ful evangelistic campaign in which there is no advertis­ing—not a line appears in the press, and not a word on radio or television referring to the program—yet the pews of the Modesto, California, church are filled with an audience of four or five hundred people every Wednesday and Fri­day evening.

A Shepherdess' Talents

James R. Hardin

It has been a real inspiration to me to read recent articles in THE MINISTRY magazine written by ministers' wives, dealing with the role of the wife as an effective helpmate. After reading these articles I have often silently ex­claimed, "Oh, to be a minister's wife…

Preacher, Meet Your Congregation

Walter R. L. Scragg

Days of preparation are ended. Careful study com­pleted. The Holy Spirit's unc­tion is invited. Today, alert in mind and body, you bear God's message to the peo­ple. Today you are their teacher, their prophet, their seer, their apostle. Through you this day God speaks to all a message from heaven.
