It’s Not a Cadillac! Part Four: Where Should We Learn?

It’s Not a Cadillac! Part Four: Where Should We Learn?

by Kevin Bauder | Jun 8, 2018 | Education, In the Nick of Time, Pastoral Theology

What training do pastors need? It depends entirely upon the ministry that they intend to pursue. Becoming a social justice warrior takes one kind of training. Becoming an ecclesiastical impresario takes another. Learning to work a crowd for high-pressure evangelism...

Al Mohler on Eugene Peterson

by Kevin Bauder | Jul 25, 2017 | Anthropology, Apologetics, Argumentation and Debate, Culture, Liberalism, Pastoral Theology, Politics, Social Issues, Theological News

An extended biblical investigation by Central Seminary alumnus Chuck Bumgardner. Here is his conclusion: Now, these passages are not, strictly speaking, “prescriptive” (as we may think of that term); they do not command with an imperative that worshippers of God must...

It’s Worse Now

by Kevin Bauder | Dec 28, 2016 | A. W. Tozer, Bauder's Reading, Devotion, Evangelicalism, Pastoral Theology

The awesomeness and beauty and perfection of our God need to be the focus in our evangelical churches today. All efforts need to be directed here. I know the temptation is to correlate the church with the world in our misguided attempt to reach the world. But you...
